Information
The escapement wheel serves two purposes. First, it locks the clock hand and gears in place while the escapement fork is in contact with the clock, and second, it pushes back on the fork when it discharges. This provides enough energy for the pendulum to compensate for the energy lost due to friction during the swing.
