Glycine Eugene Meylan

bimetallic screw balance base movement Venus 60-II (Fig. 7, 8) special barrel with Geneva stopwork (see below) It is strange that a Venus 60-II was used as base movement, although fitting Glycine calibres were available. Actually two gaps (A in Fig.4) for an alignment pin indicate that the module was designed to match several base movements. May be an 8.75" caliber exists, where the positions of crown- and ratchet wheel allow that the crown wheel needs not to be removed, and manual winding remains possible. For the Venus 60-II it would be neccessary to make the crown wheel thinner for this purpose.
