Notes

early samples with monometallic rotor later riveted heavy-metal weight (example) straight lever (ligne angulaire), only one banking pin (Fig.4) The principle is known from the Glashütte lever escapement. There the lever has a pin, and its motion is limited by a hole in the plate. Likely Ricoh has noticed that a hole is lighter than a pin, and therefore placed the hole in the lever.
