**NOTICE THE BIG SWEEP WHEEL THAT ALLOWS A CENTER
SWEEP SECONDS. This 1942 transformation of an ORIGINAL FIRST RUN SUB-SECOND HAND MOVEMENT
to a movement with central sweep second hand was accomplished by adding a new pinion
bridge that attached to the mainspring bridge. A large wheel was added that powered a
sweep seconds pinion gear designed to operate from the sub-sconds wheel through to a
center pinion and wheel powering the sweep seconds hand.
