A generic diagram should suffice. The only real difference with the Roskopf is the escapement, its also commonly called a 'pin pallet'. The only other thing that will be significantly different would be the settung mechanism, but making a sketch before disassembly would help with re-assembly. Here's a link with information that you might find helpful Carignan (http://www.cwrnh.com/techpages/cwr_technical_pages.htm)

Roskopf construction is non-conventional, but not complicated. You will note that the escapmement and balance conveniently come out as a complete sub-assembly. That sub-assembly has a "saw cut" between the lever and escape wheel, with an adjusting screw for adjusting the "saw cut". You probably want to refrain from messing with the adjustnig screw.
