3. Escapement
Clockmakers like David Rittenhouse (1732-96) and Edward Duffield (1720-1801) garnered respect comparable to the likes of political leaders Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826).

Frequency = ( 70 x 36 x 60 x 6 x 2 ) /
( 7 x 6 x 6 ) = 3600
Displacement of 70 for each each minute rotation? What is the gear train ratio(inverse)?
7/70 * 6/36 = 1/60 of 70 = 42/36 =1.16666
Displacement of 36 for each tooth of 15?
What is the frequency?
(70*36*60*15*2)/(7*6*8) = 13500/3600 = 3.75 rotation per sec
What minute is at at the 20th Displacement?
(20/70)*60=17.14

Adding 2 additional teeth to the sec gear?
Will result in 62 seconds per minute.
F = x^2 1st second has 1 tick, 2nd sec 2 so on. How many seconds have passed after 10 ticks?
