Analysing of Bessler's Clues 63.
< Seeking of the Punctum Quietus  >

"Unlike all other automata, such as clocks or springs, or other hanging weights which require winding up, or whose duration depends on the chain which attaches them, these weights, on the contrary, are the essential parts, and constitute the perpetual motion itself; since from them is received the universal movement which they must exercise so long as they remain out of the centre of gravity; and when they come to be placed together, and so arranged one against another that they can never obtain equilibrium, or the punctum quietus which they unceasingly seek in their wonderfully speedy flight, one or other of them must apply its weight at right angles to the axis, which in its turn must also move."

- meaning of "quietus"

1. a finishing stroke; anything that effectually ends or settles
2. a period of inactivity
3. at rest, quiet
4. a release from life; death
5. a final discharge, as of a duty or debt
6. something that serves to suppress, check, or eliminate

- meaning of "punctum"

1. point
2. small area
3. moment

- so, "punctum quietus" can be interpreted as small area to end something, or (in other words) the beginning of something

- "the punctum quietus which they unceasingly seek..... which in its turn must also move", might meant the weights when reached the 'punctum', would be performing some action/movement

- "which in its turn must also move", so if it's not its turn, does that mean it (the weights) doesn't move ?

- which can also indicated that during the seek, probably the weights are not doing any movement or shifting a.k.a the weights are stationary at their location (but the wheel should still be rotating), and one or other weight are in 'right angles to axis' position

Maybe not a square but a hexagon rotated so a point of the hexagon is at the apex of the disk.
This could cause the balance switching to occur before TDC.
