SK, remember that that clue about elastic arms was only speculation by Professor Christian Wolff. There is no physical evidence of such an arrangement and although it was reasonable to muse about the mechanism inside the wheel it is just that - someone's own ideas about what might be inside the wheel.
As for the pendulums I agree with Ovyyus, Bessler said they were designed to slow the wheel down for slow-speed operations.

: To John:
: Thank you for your effort to reveal the truth.
: My wheel design is bi-directional. My wheel meet almost every clues in this site. Only one thing to make me confusing is arm.
: It is very big different elastic arm or movable arm.
: In the clue session :
: Weights were attached to moveable or elastic arms on the periphery of the wheel.
: This clue is very confusing clue.
: And I have a question to everyone, about T-shaped pendulum in the picture.
: What do you think about the pendulum.
: Is it helpful to the wheel or just a load?
: I think it is just a load.
: Thank you for everyone's comments
