REVERE ELECTRIC W/BALANCE WHEEL AUXILIARY
The revere electric with balance wheel auxillary has auto-shift from electric motor
to balance wheel unit. The shift lever is weight / gravity activated. do not oil.Engage-
disengage is auto-activated by a lift pin on the minute wheel: the weight drops in and
engages the balance wheel. The pin on the minute/second hand wheel pushes it out again.
While the minute wheel is in the disengage position about 10 degrees or so of
rotation. the clearance between the coil field and the hold in lever will determine
whether or not it hums loudly or just barely.
