In order to make possible the rotation of the pallet fork from one banking pin to the other in normal functioning, a recess for the passage of the guard pin is made in the roller safety surface. The recess is lo as the impulse pin. It might happen that a sudden jolt occurs at the moment the guard pin has entered the recess (Figure 47, c). Then, the preventive functions pass to one of the fork horns, be smaller than the locking angle. This clearance, however, must be larger than the clearance between the guard pin and the safety roller. This is specified in order to enable the impulse pin to pass freely past the horn and enter the fork notch when The guard clearances for the guard pin and the horns are thus fixed as a function of the locking angl e . While setting the guard clearanc e s , the as sembler inspects the relative positions of the impulse pin, the safety surface of the double roller, the guard pin and the fork horns in the vertical plane (Figure 48 ) . A fter the escapement has been adjusted, the balance is removed from the m o vement. FIGURE 48 .
