determined. — From the above operation & this method of hanging the pendulum, it appears that the distance of the crutch from the center of its Axis may be equal to (A) the Diameter of the Pinion driven by the third Wheel, and that the Talets equal to the Diameter of the swing Wheel, in which case, the power communicated to the Rod of the Pendulum is equal to that acting upon the Swing wheel and would be 2,601 Times greater in the above Clock than there found.
  Upon a second view there is no necessity for any crutch NOP, since the Rod passes tight through a hole at R in the same axis, and the semidiameter of the Arbor IK, where the pendulum hangs, is to be considered as the Crutch, which may be even 1/10 of an inch, and then the power upon the rod of the pendulum in the above clock, (all other circumstances remaining the same as there given) would be,267856A [[?]] which is 37,5 times greater than with that crutch, so that with this crutch of 1/10 of an inch, and supposing the friction in this case requires no more power than the Stiffness of the spring in the common way, 2.[[?]] acting upon the barrel would communicate the same power to the rod, as in the above 8 day clock.
