compensation balance , auch: compensated balance

This problem was initially solved through the use of the compensation balance.

Through continuous experimentation, he worked out a way to make an effective but simple form of compensation balance.

Although these probably needed a lot of adjustment, they appear to have worked well compared to his previous attempts at a compensation balance.

He redesigned the compensation balance and developed two designs that showed promise.

Not only this, but adjustments to the compensation balance and the balance spring could be carried out in a simple, calculated way.

Along with the earlier alloy Elinvar, this alloy made obsolete the expensive compensation balance.

For example, in the animal kingdom the physiologist has observed that no creatures are favorites, but a certain compensation balances every gift and every defect.

The compensation balance consisted of a ring of steel sandwiched to a ring of brass.

The standard Earnshaw compensation balance dramatically reduced error due to temperature variations, but it didn't eliminate it.

For use as the compensation balance he developed a slight variation of the invar alloy which had a negative quadratic coefficient of expansion.

This Patent covered various designs of compensation balance and the invention of a Remontoire for use in Marine chronometers.

Johnson was involved with this, the title of which was "The Compensation Balance and its Adjustment in Chronometers and Watches".

"There are companies crediting 12 and 13 percent interest rates on deferred compensation balances," Mr. Kesner of Deloitte & Touche said.

Even though he produced a number of pocket timekeepers, from around 1772-1778, Arnold was still experimenting with different types of compensation balance and methods of balance spring adjustment.

Some rare men are wonderful watches, with gold case, compensation balance, and all those things, and some men are only simple and sweet and humble Waterburys.

Around 1765, Pierre Le Roy (son of Julien Le Roy) invented the compensation balance, which became the standard approach for temperature compensation in watches and chronometers.

Manufactured under the "Lifetime Series" trademark, all watches contain between 21 and 23 ruby jeweled bearings, bimetallic temperature compensation balances, over coil hairsprings, and function at six position chronometer level accuracy.

He is also known for his improvements to the transit clock at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London and his invention of a chronometer escapement and a form of bimetallic compensation balance.

Nevertheless, a year later, in 1783, Earnshaw-through another watchmaker, Thomas Wright-took out a patent that included Earnshaw's pattern of integral compensation balance and spring detent escapement in the multiple specification.

The bimetallic compensation balance and the spring detent escapement in the forms designed by Earnshaw have been used essentially universally in marine chronometers since then, and for this reason Earnshaw is also generally regarded as one of the pioneers of chronometer development.
