HELP!!!

Good Monday morning all.

Technical question.... I have taken apart an Elgin Size 18 lever set pw to replace the mainspring. My problem is the pallet block. It fell out when I took it apart :frown: and now I cannot determine where it belongs. I assume that there should be a pallet fork or anchor, but.... The block looks like the one below in the link. Is there somewhere I can find a diagram that would detail the layout with this type of pallet block? I realize that it has to contact the escape, but I still need a visual (slow learner).

Thank you!

Thank you Wayne!
So there is nothing between the escapment and the roller jewel, except for this pallet?
