Re: Westminster clock.
I must have dislodged the pallet cock just before taking the picture. I normally set it so the top is parallel with backplate. My mistake for not noticing.
I was not sure whether to oil the edges of the pallet so you have answered one question.
The crutch is adjustable at the back of the pallet arbour so setting the beat is easy. Initially it was seized and that was one of my first problems until I realised that the whole arbour was turning so the pallet was not moving wrt the pendulum.
