a mechanism found in devices such as a typewriter or printer which controls lateral motion of the carriage
The contrivance in a timepiece (winding wrist watch) which connects the train of wheel work with the pendulum or balance, giving to the latter the impulse by which it is kept in vibration; -- so called because it allows a tooth to escape from a pallet at each vibration
Fish that avoid or escape all fisheries and return to spawn at their home stream
(1) The number, or proportion, of elk or other wildlife surviving the hunting season (not escape cover) The emphasis may be on specific age and sex classes of elk (2) Also fish passing a dam or waterway blockage

The percentage of fish in a particular fishery that escape from an inshore habitat and move offshore, where they eventually spawn
Device in a mechanical movement that controls the rotation of the wheels and thus the motion of the hands Set of parts (escape wheel, lever, roller) which converts the rotary motion of the train into to-and-fro motion (the balance) A-Z Index : F Return to Top factory (works): In the Swiss watch industry, the term manufacture is used of a factory in which watches are manufactured almost completely, as distinct from an "atelier de terminage", which is concerned only with assembling, timing, fitting the hands and casing
The escapement of a string is the distance in pixels in the primary draw direction from the drawing origin to the origin of the next character (that is, the one following the given string) to be drawn
Set of parts (escape wheel, lever, roller) that converts the rotary motion of the train into to-and-fro motion (the balance)
