Many years later Galileo asked his son to build a clock using the pendulum as a regulator to improve the accuracy of a clock operated by a weight. But it was Christiaan Huygens a few years after that, in 1656, who made the pendulum clock practical. Although the simple pendulum does not swing at exact time intervals, Huygens modified the pendulum to solve this problem. He built the first grandfather's clock. It was a sort of miniature tower clock made accurate enough to keep time to the minute through use of the pendulum. Around the same time, Robert Hooke was experimenting with springs. His discoveries led to clocks powered with springs instead of weights, making clocks portable. By the 18th century, clocks and watches that ticked the seconds were commonly available. Mechanical clocks became more and more reliable and precise, but these clocks have limits. After World War II, scientists began to turn to other means to measure time. Isadore Rabi proposed an atomic clock in 1945 and the first was built by 1949. Atomic clocks use atoms that reliably vibrate millions of times a second. Even cheap silicon-chip wristwatches rely on hundreds or thousands of vibrations a second. As a result, time is regularly measured to almost unthinkable intervals today. A home computer uses a timer that may be anywhere from about 1.25 to 2.8 billion cycles a second. Without such precise measurement of time, computers would be unable to operate with anything like the speed and efficiency we have come to expect of them.

Although formally a curate, since the minister was also Dean of Gloucester Cathedral and of Wells, John Hooke was left in charge of All Saints. It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older. Relatively few details of Robert's childhood are known. What we record here is information which he mentioned to his friends later in his life. Robert, like many children of his day, had poor health and was not expected to reach adulthood. His father was from a family in which it was expected that all the boys joined the Church (John Hooke's three brothers were all ministers) so had Robert enjoyed good health as a child there is no doubt that he would have followed the family tradition. As it was Robert's parents did begin to set up his education with this in mind but he continually suffered from headaches which made studying hard. Lacking confidence that he would reach adulthood, Robert's parents gave up on his education, leaving him much to his own devices.

The sister division to Bosch Packaging recently provided a precise control system for its FLM 2000-, 4000-, and 6000-series liquid-filler machines. The machines can perform two-fill operations at rates of 300 vials/min. and single-fill operations up to 600 vials/min. Jackson explains that the system for loading liquid-filled pharmaceutical vials into trays was formerly a mechanically driven four-axis ma-chine. Bosch Rexroth redesigned it and incorporated servos and an integrated motion system. The result was reduced costs and maintenance and improved reliability, according to Jackson. Precise Control System Intelligent Servo Drives Since the distributed intelligent drives handle all time-critical functions inside, those functions also occur much faster than if they were handled in the controller, according to Jackson.

He began to understand how crucial it was to preserve history, and to believe that no high-rise condominium could ever be worth demolishing a precious piece of culture. It was this appreciation that led to Murtagh's becoming the first ever keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was his keen judgment that determined what would stay or go in the American architectural landscape. "Back then, in the '50s and '60s, nobody appreciated the past the way they do now. My generation thought 19th-century Victorians were the ugliest houses, just because they weren't the style. And I saw them being burned down all the time," said Murtagh, now in his 80s, in a phone interview from his summer home in Penobscot, Maine. A year ago, he began spending winters in Sarasota.

Mr. Sunspot's Answer Book Time Keeping and Sundials This page contains answers to questions Mr Sunspot received about time keeping. The questions are: Is the clockwise direction of hands on a clock related to the earth's revolution around the sun? Asked by Sarah Oswald (13) of Marianna, Florida 14 August 1997 How can I make a vertical reclining sundial? Asked by Mariana of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 30 September 1996 The History of Timekeeping The most ancient way of keeping time during the day is to see where the Sun is in the sky. If you live north of the equator, then the Sun rises toward the east, reaches its highest point in the sky (culminates) due south, and sets toward the west, so it moves along the sky from left to right. Of course, there are no hour markers in the sky, so time you tell from the Sun's position in the sky is only a guess. The second most ancient way of keeping time is to watch the shadow of something like a stick or tree move along the ground. Because the Sun moves from left to right in the sky (to the north of the equator), the shadow rotates in what we now call the clockwise direction. You can put marks on the ground to indicate different hours, and then you have something that looks like a clock. Because the height of the Sun above the horizon changes all the time, the speed of the shadow's rotation varies all the time, both with the time of day and also with the seasons. This means that the "hours" of this clock (as indicated by the marks on the ground) do not keep the same length all the time.

It's free! Save it. Jet airliners have been around for nearly forty years, yet they remain a rather neglected subject. This is especially true if one considers them as important to the modern transformation of time and space as railroads were in the nineteenth century. Proximity to an adequate airport is a must for any aspiring city today. New or improved airports are increasingly seen as imperative to a city's competitive footing, as the recent cases of Manchester, Osaka and Hong Kong illustrate.1 The pre-jet period Continue article Advertisement In other words, the importance of transport connections was well recognised in the Georgia capital, an appreciation manifested in a more dynamic civic leadership than in much of the rest of the state. It was unsurprising, therefore, when local promoters in the 1920s turned their attention toward the possible impact of the aeroplane. Even before the Lindbergh boom of the late 1920s, the city government had secured and begun to construct an airfield to the south of Atlanta. The major negotiator was junior alderman (and future mayor) William B. Hartsfield, a particularly keen enthusiast of aviation in its barnstorming days. Hartsfield first leased the land from local Cocacola magnate Asa Candler and later persuaded the city to buy the site outright. In 1929, as chair of the city's new aviation committee, Hartsfield played a key role in persuading the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to switch the south's designated transfer point from Birmingham to Atlanta.5

Keeping Time David Hare made clockwork of The Hours. Written by Rob Feld (From the February 2003 issue of "Written By") David Hare Photo by Michele Asselin I t's Friday the 13th and Paramount has lent the Writers Guild of America East its screening room to host The Hours, "It took me two weeks to write the opening sequence," he says, "but once I had it, it really didn't change." "Do you always know the beginning?" he's asked. "Well, that's everything, isn't it?" Thirty-six hours later I am greeted by Hare's wife in their suite at the Lowell Hotel, which feels like a little bit of London in the East '60s. Hare has been doing press interviews back-to-back, and when he hangs up the phone, his energy is manic. The 55-year-old British dramatist carries a self-possession that fits a stage actoras indeed he was last year in his solo play on the Arab-Israeli crisis, Via Dolorosa (directed initially by The Hours ' Stephen Daldry). His plays, any number of which often find themselves running in tandem in both New York and London, confront head-on the institutions that form societies (though mostly British), while recognizing the inseparability of the personal and political realms: The Secret Rapture, Skylight, The Judas Kiss

History of legal time in Britain Introduction Greenwich Time and the Longitude (National Maritime Museum / Philip Wilson Publishers, 1997). While I believe that Summer Time should be done away with, the study of how politicians have managed to fiddle with such a simple matter (simple legally, not technically) as how to define the time of day has turned out to be fascinating, showing how governments can make such a mess of a simple matter, with over seventy relevant pieces of legislation in a little over a century, along with the oddities of the incompleteness of preservation of the record of published twentieth century secondary legislation. Below, I attempt to present the details of every piece of legislation, primary, secondary and European, relating to Summer Time and legal time in the UK; along with such details as I have been able to uncover of the relevant legislation for the Crown Dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). The Republic of Ireland after independence is not covered, though it is thought to have followed mostly the same times except during World War 2, and the details for the Crown Dependencies have gaps. Texts of legislation may eventually be provided here and be linked to below. Much of this is based on the work of Peter Ilieve for the public-domain UNIX timezone database distributed from elsie.nci.nih.gov (commonly referred to as the Olson or tz database). In 1998 I tracked down various of the more elusive orders and filled in many of the gaps in this information; since then I have, as time permits, sought further details from the files in the
