雅思阅读辅导：锚式擒纵机构的优势

发布时间：2016-02-26 编辑：查字典英语网小编

　　阅读段落

　　To address this, a variation on the original escapement was invented in 1670, in England. It was called the anchor escapement, which was a lever-based device shaped like a ships anchor. The motion of a pendulum rocks this device so that it catches and then releases each tooth of the escape wheel, in turn allowing it to turn a precise amount. Unlike the original form used in early pendulum clocks, the anchor escapement permitted the pendulum to travel in a very small arc. Moreover, this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat a second and thus led to the development of a new floor-standing case design, which became known as the grandfather clock.
