Animations: escapements and movement mechanisms

Many thanks to Volker Vyskocil for providing the files!

Each animation opens on its own page so that they do not all load at once. There you can start and stop the movement, step forwards and backwards frame by frame, and zoom without losing resolution. When enlarged, the image can be dragged with the mouse.
