Questions whether the strike wire arbors are centered (approximately) with respect to the centerline of the upper left access hole.

Questions whether a figure 8 hole is used to allow the count hook access to the count wheel. The entries are as follows:
  If there is no figure 8 hole, "None";
  if the figure 8 hole is made of three small holes, "SSS";
  if of two large holes, "LL";
  if of two small and one large hole, "SLS";
  if of two small holes and one oval center hole, "SOS".
Small is defined as up to and including 9/16" diameter. Sometimes "SSS" holes are carved out to make a curved slot. Sometimes the holes in "SSS" are not all the same size.

Refers to the direction of the count wheel retainer wire. The entries use a clock-hand notation; 12:00 means in the twelve o'clock direction. All movements observed can be categorized in three groups, as roughly 12:00, 4:30, and 7:00.

Questions whether the tip of the single-ended (usually brass) escape wheel bridge is round, rounded (but not round), or rectangluar (sometimes with corners bevelled); or whether a double-ended (usually wood) bridge is used.

Refers to the material of the front plate strike wire pivots. These may be wood, "W" or Steel "S". The entry "W/S" for example, means the upper pivot is wood and the lower pivot is steel.

Refers to the small brass button or plate to which the verge pin is attached. The shape of the plate is indicated as round "Rd" or rectangular "Rec".

Questions whether the access holes in the corners of the movement are small or large, or are not present. It is marked "Sml", "Lrg", or "None". Small is defined as up to and including 9/16" diameter. This size figure is arbitrary, but is chosen as a size no commonly used.

Questions whether there is (or once was) a square on the end of the hour pipe, and the corresponding clutch on the intermediate wheel. The entry is "Yes" or "No". Rarely, a clutch exists with a round hour shaft. The entry for this would be "Yes / No".

Refers to whether there are rings or cups around the front plate strike wire pivots. No distinction between rings and cups is made. The entry is "Yes" or "No". If for example, there is no ring or cup around the upper strike wire pivot, while the lower does have a cup or ring, the entry is "No / Yes".

Refers, similarly, to rings or cups around the front plate winding arobors, and the entry is "Yes" or "No". If the winding arbors are bushed, the question is answered in the same way: "Yes" if there are rings on or around the bushings; otherwise, "No".
