Comments about the data

Remarks
pin-lever escapement
ratchet on dial side, crown mechanism with rocker bar
balance versions: single roller, double roller
The distance between balance bearings is adjusted either by the common screwed point bearing on the dial side (cf. AHS 40), or more sensitive and service-friendly by a screw bending the balance cock or -bridge (Fig.1).
Late samples have a balance bridge instead of a cock, and are signed on the dial side as AHS 42. It is not yet known, which variants were made with this layout.
Often a wrong or no calibre signature is present.
