Well Guys,

That is my thinking but I am unsure of the arguments supporting the case as quite evidently others seem to be. For a start thjere is backlash in the time train so a tiny kick back may not do anything. Also we are presuming a weight driven clock and not a spring so can a tiny shift back add to the forward movement. Also when the anchor comes to rest it initially still has to overcome inertia. I am yet to be persuaded that recoil adds to the forward momentum…but I could be wrong as believe me themathmatics involved fly very high.
