Timing Adjustment Problem
Hi.
I had previously posted a question about regulator pins, as in how effective are they in timing adjustments, and a lot of folks responded with some great info - as always. Anyway, despite that, I decided I was flogging a dead horse in trying to get this particular Waltham, 1908, size 16S, pocket watch to run with acceptable accuracy so I dismantled it (again), cleaned it (again), replaced the hairspring and balance staff, reassembled and oiled it, inspected all the jewels for problems,
No, lift angle set on the timegrapher does not affect beat error reading at all. One can test that easily by varying the angle and observing. See pictures for the two extreme values of range available on my machine. Only amplitude reading is marginally affected.
