We have an escapement, which starts and stops the movement.

有一个擒纵机构，可以启动停止运动。

Here's the chimes, and here's detail of the escapement that we used.

这是报时器，这是用的擒纵装置的细节。

There's five elements of a clock: energy, gearing, escapement, control, and indication.

能量、传动装置、擒纵机构、指示。

Here we have a pendulum, which is what determines how fast the escapement is moving, and we have a dial to read the actual time from.

这里是一个钟摆，它决定擒纵机构移动的速度，还有一个表盘来读取实际时间。

So it was no surprise to him, though keenly disappointing, that the Swiss watchmaking industry was neither eager to look at the co-axial escapement, nor able to understand it.

所以，瑞士的钟表作业对他的同轴式擒纵机构既不感兴趣也不能理解，这也是他意料之中的事，尽管他还是为此十分失望。
