The intermediate wheel acts upon the canon pinion, mounted on the center wheel arbor, and rotating almost freely over it. That pinion is glued to the strike detent (a cam). Shortly before reaching the "twelve o'clock" position, this cam begins to push the rocker detent up, wich in turn lifts the stop arm, with which the striking mechanism is released and starts to work. Anyway, you can always go to the clock plans (www.lisaboyer.com/claytonsite1) with clear information about the way that mechanism works. Regards.
Thanks for nice clear imagery. Made the operation of the gathering palette easy to follow.
Looks like a great project.
Congratulations on your build!
