3. Bolsey - Leaf shutter and Aperture blades.



A closer look and the top layer of part and the how easy they come out...


Also a quick movie to give an idea of where the parts are and how they relate... look out for the tape.








Yes I could just put my finger on top of the post




The order of things... again, watch out for the flying spring.  From left to right is the spring for the escapement and the two escapement arms... not sure if that is what it is called, I could call them shutter trip arms?  The next is the release arm and spring attached.  The next is the timer arm and the spring to the side.


Next it the timer






Brass keeper and screw













I went for the regulator or escapement and this time I know it is called an escapement













So, simply a lift up and out




Pallet spring off post













Trip spring
Note the pallet position and the relation to the escape wheel.






Out came the Pallet and the Trip












Escape wheel off
