The Rollers

The unlocking and impulse rollers are made of tempered steel, the slots for the pallets being cut so that their front faces are on a radial line to their center. The outer end of the impulse pallet should be just equal to the roller, while in the unlocking roller the pallet extends beyond the edge of the roller so as to strike the unlocking spring.
