And a few more.......
The ED on the left is quite interesting in that the paxolin bulkhead on which it is mounted is a vital part of the escapement....... It is "compound", ie one for right and two for left but I don't know if it was an early development model or if some quite inventive modeller has modified it. If anyone knows anything about it please let me know......

Hi Paul,
I'm 99% certain this was home brewed. I have a lot of info and actual items of ED and nothing that looks remotely like that. I have some of the basic esc's that yours is based on which is sequential. Browsing thru model mags of the 50's and early 60's you can find reference to quite a few mods that modellers dreamed up.
Still a great piece to own.
