Hey guys

I am working on a As 1361 and need a escape wheel. But cousins have a choice of 3. I bought the normal one a pin at both ends but did not fit properly it was to big. But I am sure that was the right choice. The pics are the escape wheels bottom or plate jewel and top or train bridge jewel. Can some one tell me which one is correct as I now need another one as I have snapped the one I bought. You can have pins at either end or pin one end conical other or both ends conical. 

Cheers 

Gary

The list I'm looking at shows four different escape wheels. To get an idea I'm attaching an image you just have to figure out which pivot is conical and which pivot is straight. Because you have a combination of both conical both straight or one is conical and the other straight or the other way around. Still have four choices.

It looks like from the picture the lower pivot is probably a straight one. But I can't quite figure out what I'm looking at on the top jewel

The easy way to tell is like the picture shows street pivots have one jewel and conical pivots have two is a hole jewel and a end stone.
