Having lived in England for several years and collecting lantern clocks a discussion of the various types might be useful. The conversion from balance escapement, to crown wheel escapement, to anchor escapement can be seen on the plates of the clocks. Many lanterns were also converted to double fusee movements. Manny of these clocks went directly from balance wheel to long pendulum anchor escapement.
