Fascinating! Where did you find it? There must be extremely precious data there!

I have many texts regarding this, some recovered from market stalls, two others from an antique dealer, and then there is always the dear "old" web..

Hi guys, I wanted to say something regarding the regulation of the escapement button; this must be regulated in such a way as to disengage the hammer just before the hammer strikes the string, otherwise the hammer will act as a damper by pressing into the string and the escapement will not return to its resting phase, or conversely, the lever will not provide the correct push and the escapement will immediately go to rest.

The correct measurement is that the escapement must disengage the hammer 2 mm before touching the string.
