Yet, there is as much pressure per square inch on the balance wheel staff (the axle 1 ' about which the balance wheel swings) .as there is on the piston of a locomotive. Here are some facts which may interest you. A series of wheels and pinions called the Tram carries the ’.power from the main-spring to the escapement, and the wheel you see moving to and fro when the watch is open at the pack is the Balance Wheel. I The Train divides up the force with wh'ch the main-spring unwinds; the escapement allows this force to escape in measured doses,’'the Balance Wheel swings to ani;! fro at a speed regulated- by the Hair or Balance Spring and this governs the timekeeping of the i watch. The Balance Wheel nearly half a million swings in 24 ® Ihcurs.'and 150,000,000 sw.ng-> a year, and ir a pocket size watch the | rim cf the Balance Wheel travels 8,395 miles in a year.
