Going back to the differences between the conventional watch escapements, which usually is the lever escapement invented by the Englishman Thomas Mudge in 1754 and used ever since in watches. The difference between that and the co-axial escapement lies in the method of imparting the energy replenishment to the oscillator. The oscillator must have a small amount of energy fed into it at every oscillation in order to keep the... maintain the oscillation and produce the time. The... one could explain it by saying that the impulse to the oscillator, the energy given to the oscillator in the lever escapement is done through an enormous long sliding friction action. Can you see my hands if I do that?

[Q] Yes.

So we might say that, for example, in the lever watch the sliding action is given to the components by the wheel here, which as it goes you see it pushes up this half there, pushes it up and that energizes the oscillator. Whereas with the co-axial escapement, the action is more like pushing open a door when the two components, instead of sliding, just gently push each other open without almost no friction... with almost no friction. Those two components will feed one into the other.
