I am not sure what the "principles' are, though. Allowing the capstan to pass above the magic line before escapement is something I try to avoid, since it begins sending the ration back "down" just as you can use the increased leverage to keep up the hammer velocity.(I posted on this last month). Like Bob, I have varied the settings to see what happens to friction when the magic line is ignored, and I couldn't find any difference between the possible settings in a given action.
