Excessive amplitude, but good rate and beat error…

From a cal. 1863 Speedmaster. What could cause this one parameter to be off?

I guess it could be the mainspring, or maybe something else I'm not familiar with. But as long as it's not rebanking maybe it's not an issue in practice.

Do you have the lift angle set properly in the grapher?

50 degrees?

Will evidence of re-banking make itself apparent on the timegrapher?

Yes...the rate will jump up very high, and the pattern on the screen will be all over the place.

Great, thanks.

I notice the line above isn’t that smooth, if that means anything to a trained eye…

That's the number I have.
