Christofori

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

To Israel and All,
 
    Joe is right.  Christofori was at least a  hundred
years ahead of all others.
 
   His first action had escapement and a "sort" of  
check.  And it did not work very well.
 
   His second action had a good working escapement
and a good  working  check.  This  check is so  good 
that we use it today.
 
  As a matter of fact he was one spring away from what
we use today in having a double escapement.
 
  You will  find both working models in our Museum  now.
 
   I  tinkered around with his second action model  and  
 by adding  one  (1)  spring it becomes a double  escapement.
 
   I will not have these models in Rochester  however we
will have   "The  Hickman."  
 
  The " Hickman" is the only action, to my knowledge, that 
 
is truly different from   ALL   others.
 
 I built  it using original parts.  This is  another story.
 
   Sometimes the  facts are more  interesting   than
the rumors.  This,,  is one of those times.
 
  Knowledge is a bankable commodity. 
 
 
Regards,
Jack Wyatt
