Facit 1740 English Typewriter Escapement Wheel

The Facit 1740 English Typewriter Escapement Wheel is one of the most important carriage drive components used in the Facit 1740 English manual typewriter. This precision wheel works directly with the carriage rack and escapement mechanism to control carriage movement during every typing operation. Each time a key is pressed, the carriage advances one character space, while backspacing, carriage return, and other carriage-related functions also depend on the accurate operation of the escapement wheel. It plays a vital role in maintaining controlled carriage travel and consistent typing performance.

With years of continuous use, the escapement wheel may develop wear, damaged teeth, or mechanical deterioration, resulting in irregular carriage movement, inaccurate spacing, skipping, or noisy operation. Replacing this original Facit 1740 escapement wheel helps restore dependable carriage control and smooth mechanical movement while preserving the original operating characteristics of the machine. Suitable for manual typewriter repair, restoration, servicing, and preventive maintenance, this component is carefully inspected before dispatch by RR Typewriter Mart to meet the needs of collectors, restoration professionals, technicians, and everyday typewriter users.
