Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Only when the finished movement has kept accurate time for several days on the test bench is it fitted into its case and offered for sale.
- After assembly, the clockmaker regulates the escapement, nudging tiny adjustment screws until the balance wheel swings with perfect, even ticks.
- These pieces are then assembled by hand under a loupe, with jewelled bearings inserted at each pivot point to reduce friction.
- Once the design is settled, brass sheets are cut and filed into the wheels, pinions, and plates that will form the skeleton of the movement.
- Long before a clockmaker cuts a single gear, she sketches the movement on paper, calculating how many teeth each wheel needs to keep true time.
