Pin-pallet escapement
In this escapement the pallets are made from small-diameter pins which engage the club-shaped teeth of the escape wheel, all the lift and draw being formed in the escape-wheel teeth. This escapement is only fitted to low-quality clocks; it is often poorly made, and retention of oil on the working surfaces is another problem.
