Fusee reassembly

[p2n]

Picked up a nice fusee movement (£11 - I splashed out). Non runner but looked in good condition and wanted to see a fusee...

Looked to be clean and generally good. Wouldn't wind - fully found, but when you tried it would sometime start.

Took it apart slowly and photographed as I went then found this on the escapement lever:

A bit of crud!

 

Cleaned the rest as best I can and started to reassemble.

I'm stuck getting the top (?) plate on and getting the escape lever through the small window. Is there a knack to this?

Any idea what the name is: E ? Thompson

Sussed it out in the end.

The fusee chain was a right *@#&&!! to get back on correct.

The result:
