If these points of attachment were changed to the opposite side of collet so that the spring would develop downward as shown at "G" Fig. 11, and "H" Fig. 12, the results would be reversed and the pendant up rate would be slow in comparison to the pendant down rate.

Fig. 11

This point of attachment in which the spring develops downward from the collet is generally known as the slow point among adjusters, and when a spring is pinned at either the slow or fast point the pendant right and left positions generally compare quite closely to each other in timing, provided that the poise and other conditions of the watch are correct.

If the pinning point was changed to the intersection of the collet and vertical line as shown in "I" Fig. 13, the pendant up and down rates would compare nearly equal to each other and the pendant right position would be slow compared to the pendant left position.

Fig. 12

If it were pinned at the intersection of the collet and vertical line just opposite to that shown in Fig. 13, the pendant left position would be slow compared to the pendant right position.
