The mechanical timer or clock provides control functions according to elapsed time while a high-speed aircraft, missile, or artillery shell, travels between two points in its flight or trajectory. The escapement assembly is of the type having a rotary escapement wheel and a pivoted escapement lever with oscillating masses and two bladed escapement pallets, arranged in balanced relation about the pivot axis of an operating arbor, in a generally conventional manner, to control the step-bystep rotary movement of the escapement wheel. The latter is connected through a gear train with the controlled mechanism and the driving spring or other energy source for the escapement mechanism and timer.
