The next thing to do is to finish the escapement. by making the Foliot--
Verge-- and pallet.
But before I start a little bit of history may be interesting.
The escapement used in this clock was invented around 1330 by the Abbot of St Albans Cathedral ( Richard of Wallingford ) it was a big step
forward, allowing the clock to have a astronomical dial showing the position of the planets ETC.
The clock was destroyed during the dissolution of the church by king Henry the 8th.
