Talk:Fusee (horology)

Unlike a weight on a cord, which exerts a constant force to turn the clock's wheels
Oh, dear. Very poor physics. Only true (appx.) for very small angles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.101.31.48 (talk) 20:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The weight being referred to here is the weight on the end of a cord suspended from a drum which powers the clock's wheel train in weight-powered clocks, not the weight on the pendulum. This weight just descends slowly as the clock runs, it doesn't swing.  So there is no "amplitude" or angle. -- Chetvorno TALK 00:18, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Cleanup tag
The cleanup tag has been on the article a year. I don't see anything particular about the article which would justify it. Unless someone comes up with something specific, I'm going to remove it. -- Chetvorno TALK 19:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Spiral groove?
...........The fusee has a HELICAL grove machined around it...not a SPIRAL...

......Or, to be fair, it could be termed a conical spiral on the cone element, and a helix on the opposite cylinder  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.22.95 (talk) 17:50, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I know this is just semantics to some, but the two are entirely different....

I love the quality of Wikipedia articles, and accuracy is part of this.

 * Thanks, that's a good point. I replaced it.  I hope you don't mind, I put our conversation in a new section labeled with the topic, to separate it from previous topics; this is the standard practice on Talk pages. -- Chetvorno TALK 19:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Resurgence
The Fusee has seen some resurgence recently in some very high-end wristwatches (such as Breuget and Cabestan) as a constant force mechanism. I think this might want to be noted after the Obsolescence section. --Cshepley (talk) 19:41, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Go ahead and add it, if you have a source.  -- Chetvorno TALK 20:53, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
