The Center Wheel

Reference no 201

The Center Wheel (201) pinion is driven by the Barrel (182). The Center Wheel in turn drives the Third Wheel (210) pinion.

The Wheel Train starts to the left with the Barrel (182) which drives the Center Wheel (201) pinion. The rotation speed is further increased via the Third Wheel (210) to the Fourth Wheel (224), which makes one revolution per minute and has the second hand attached to its arbor. Finally the Fourth Wheel engages the Escape Wheel (230) pinion.
