1. Doug's Atomic Clocks
Details on Doug Hogarth's experiments with his atomic clock.
http://www.niceties.com/atomic.html
FLASH: GPS SA discontinued MJD 51666! Maybe some satellites started a little earlier, but around midnight EDT (04:06Z) things really improved (even though the first URA value changes were not broadcast until a few hours later). On the first couple graphs, the UTC day started at about 39000 seconds so look starting around 53200 for less "noise" (smoother) somewhere near the average. Sorry that my TAC data doesn't include the sawtooth correction (which would smooth it more and probably chop a little off the top/bottom). The non-SA 58503A looks to be ~31ns peak-to-peak, near an order of magnitude stability improvement especially from around 100 to 2500 seconds averaging time.
I'll integrate these couple below someday... I'm not especially comfortable with the term " atomic clock " because such devices really just know exactly how long a second lasts. The proper name for mine is the (Agilent) HP 5071A-001 Primary Frequency Standard (with high performance tube based on cesium or cæsium for those of you outside the US). The beginning of the second must be referenced somehow to the official international time which is typically UTC(BIPM). I also have another "atomic clock", the HP 5065A Rubidium vapor frequency standard (replaced some capacitors after discovering major problems on boards such as and ). Although Rb is considered "atomic", it must be referenced to a more official standard such as Cs (or GPS, etc).

4. CESIUM ATOMIC CLOCKS
Kinds of cesium clocks, with pictures, plus a description of their operation andthe science behind them.
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cesium.html
Cesium Atoms at Work
"...till like a clock worn out with eating time."
John Dryden (1631-1701)
The 1955 Cesium Atomic Clock at the National Physical Laboratory, UK. It kept time to a second in 300 years. A "cesium(-beam) atomic clock" (or "cesium-beam frequency standard") is a device that uses as a reference the exact frequency of the microwave spectral line emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium, in particular its isotope of atomic weight 133 ("Cs-133"). The integral of frequency is time, so this frequency, 9,192,631,770 hertz (Hz = cycles/second), provides the fundamental unit of time, which may thus be measured by cesium clocks. Today, cesium clocks measure frequency with an accuracy of from 2 to 3 parts in 10 to the 14th, i.e. 0.00000000000002 Hz; this corresponds to a time measurement accuracy of 2 nanoseconds per day or one second in 1,400,000 years. It is the most accurate realization of a unit that mankind has yet achieved. A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until they vibrate at one of their resonant frequencies and then counting the corresponding cycles as a measure of time. The frequency involved is that of the energy absorbed from the incident photons when they excite the outermost electron in a cesium atom to jump ("transition") from a lower to a higher orbit. According to quantum theory, atoms can only exist in certain discrete ("quantized") energy states depending on what orbits about their nuclei are occupied by their electrons. Different transitions are possible; those in question refer to a change in the electron and nuclear spin ("hyperfine") energy level of the lowest set of orbits called the "ground state." Cesium is the best choice of atom for such a measurement because all of its 55 electrons but the outermost are confined to orbits in stable shells of electromagnetic force. Thus, the outermost electron is not disturbed much by the others. The cesium atoms are kept in a very good vacuum of about 10 trillionths of an atmosphere so that the cesium atoms are little affected by other particles. All this means that they radiate in a narrow spectral line whose wavelength or frequency can be accurately determined.

Early Clocks
N ot until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa began to make clocks to augment their calendars. With their attendant bureaucracies, formal religions, and other burgeoning societal activities, these cultures apparently found a need to organize their time more efficiently.
Sun Clocks
T he Sumerian culture was lost without passing on its knowledge, but the Egyptians were apparently the next to formally divide their day into parts something like our hours. Obelisks (slender, tapering, four-sided monuments) were built as early as 3500 BCE. Their moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling people to partition the day into morning and afternoon. Obelisks also showed the year's longest and shortest days when the shadow at noon was the shortest or longest of the year. Later, additional markers around the base of the monument would indicate further subdivisions of time. Another Egyptian shadow clock or sundial, possibly the first portable timepiece, came into use around 1500 BCE. This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts plus two "twilight hours" in the morning and evening. When the long stem with 5 variably spaced marks was oriented east and west in the morning, an elevated crossbar on the east end cast a moving shadow over the marks. At noon, the device was turned in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon "hours."

9. Clocks And Time: Time Software For PC Personal Computers For Time Setting And Sy
clocks and Time describes time software for PC personal computers for timesetting and synchronization, clock rate correction and time display.
http://www.ubr.com/clocks/timesw/timesw.html
Time Software
PC Time Software
Functional Categories
Time software falls into two major categories: (1) Clock time synchronization and rate correction, and (2) time displays. Synchronization programs set the PC clock to an external standard. Although some programs permit manual synchronization (to a radio time station or audible time signal), increasingly, they dial up national standards and automatically synchronize. Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers are other synchronization sources. The tendency today is to use Internet time servers, which are controlled by atomic clocks. Because PC clocks rarely have a correct rate (they lose or gain time significantly) it is useful to correct the rate with software that determines the rate error and then periodically corrects the time. In this way a typical rate error of several seconds per day can effectively be reduced to several seconds per month. This has the added advantage that synchronization need be performed less frequently. For a discussion of PC clocks see the paper RighTime tm A Real Time Clock Correcting Program For MS-DOS-Based Computer Systems by Tom Becker.

on the dial as in this picture?
This web site is a data gathering point for Attleboro Clock Co. Clocks: Attleboro Clock Company clocks are identified on the clock dial as being located in Attleboro, Massachusetts. However, there has never been an Attleboro Clock Co. in Attleboro, Mass. Very little is known about the Attleboro Clock Co., and there are very few Attleboro Clock Co clocks still in existence. If you have any information about the Attleboro Clock Co., or even theories that are different that those expressed here, please provide comments to me at Jerry Baker One of my primary goals in to collect information on as many Attleboro Clock Co. clocks as possible. If you have an Attleboro clock, please take the time to complete my questionnaire on your Attleboro Clock Co. clock. I am especially interested in the city and state of where the clock came from (to the best of your knowledge).
