http://sln.fi.edu/qa00/attic3

Extractions: No matter where we are or what we do, time is constant. Every second, each minute, through all the hours of a day, week, month, or year, time moves on regardless of what is happening around us. Throughout history, people have sought out various ways to measure time. From the use of sundials, escapements, and pendulums to the invention of automatic, synchronome, and calendar clocks, the mechanics of timekeeping has been an important part of all cultures throughout the centuries. The Online Museum Educators worked with The Franklin Institute's collection of historic timepieces and developed educational resources related to them. The stories of those timepieces and their intricate workings will be examined here, and activities and resources that complement the clocks provide interactive fun and understanding.

http://physics.nist.gov/GenInt/Time/revol.html

Extractions: Bibliography I n Europe during most of the Middle Ages (roughly 500 CE to 1500 CE), technological advancement virtually ceased. Sundial styles evolved, but didn't move far from ancient Egyptian principles. During these times, simple sundials placed above doorways were used to identify midday and four "tides" (important times or periods) of the sunlit day. By the 10th century, several types of pocket sundials were used. One English model even compensated for seasonal changes of the Sun's altitude. Then, in the first half of the 14th century, large mechanical clocks began to appear in the towers of several large Italian cities. We have no evidence or record of the working models preceding these public clocks, which were weight-driven and regulated by a verge-and-foliot escapement. Variations of the verge-and-foliot mechanism reigned for more than 300 years, but all had the same basic problem: the period of oscillation of the escapement depended heavily on the amount of driving force and the amount of friction in the drive. Like water flow, the rate was difficult to regulate. Another advance was the invention of spring-powered clocks between 1500 and 1510 by Peter Henlein of Nuremberg. Replacing the heavy drive weights permitted smaller (and portable) clocks and watches. Although they ran slower as the mainspring unwound, they were popular among wealthy individuals due to their small size and the fact that they could be put on a shelf or table instead of hanging on the wall or being housed in tall cases. These advances in design were precursors to truly accurate timekeeping.

Howstuffworks "How Pendulum Clocks Work"
Main Science Engineering How Pendulum clocks Work. While clocks normallyare fairly complicated, they do not have to be confusing or mysterious.
http://science.howstuffworks.com/clock.htm

Extractions: Have you ever looked inside a grandfather clock or a small mechanical alarm clock , seen all the gears and springs and thought, "Wow that's complicated!"? While clocks normally are fairly complicated, they do not have to be confusing or mysterious. In fact, as you learn how a clock works, you can see how clock designers faced and solved a number of interesting problems to create accurate timekeeping devices. In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we'll help you understand what makes clocks tick, so the next time you look inside one you can make sense of what's happening! Pendulum clocks have been used to keep time since 1656, and they have not changed dramatically since then. Pendulum clocks were the first clocks made to have any sort of accuracy. When you look at a pendulum clock from the outside, you notice several different parts that are important to the mechanism of all pendulum clocks: There is the face of the clock, with its hour and minute hand (and sometimes even a "moon phase" dial!).

A Brief History Of Clocks From Thales To Ptolemy

A Brief History of Clocks: From Thales to Ptolemy By: Jesse Weissman Look at the comments on this paper. The earliest example, in western culture, of a celestial sphere is attributed to the presocratic philosopher Thales. Unfortunately, little is known about Thales' sphere beyond Cicero's description in the De re publica For Gallus told us that the other kind of celestial globe, which was solid and contained no hollow space, was a very early invention, the first one of that kind having been constructed by Thales of Mileus, and later marked by Eudoxus with the constellations and stars which are fixed in the sky. (Price 56) This description is helpful for understanding the basic form of Thales' sphere, and for pinpointing its creation at a specific point in time. However, it is clearly a simplification of events that occurred several hundred years before Cicero's lifetime. Why would Thales' create a spherical representation of the heavens and neglect to indicate the stars? Of what use is a bowling ball for locating celestial bodies? Considering Eudoxus' preoccupation with systems of concentric spheres, a more logical explanation is that Thales marked his sphere with stars, and Eudoxus later traced the ecliptic and the paths of the planets on the exterior. The celestial sphere in question probably resembled this

Extractions: 'Distinctive, affordable, customized, hand-crafted contemporary interior accessories' is not only difficult to say, but very difficult to find in this machine made, high tech world of ours. Maris Taylor Design offers an oasis of simplicity and elegance. Principal designer and artist, Scott Gruber, creates a wide spectrum of functional art objects including clocks, candleholders, light switch covers, knobs, pillboxes, and business card cases. The ancient art of fusing glass onto copper (known as copper enameling), natural stone and brushed metals are the three primary elements of Mr. Gruber's work. He is inspired and influenced as much by architectural forms as by earth forms. His ability to bring together diverse, some would even say wildly unrelated, materials and styles must be what creates the contemporary yet timeless quality of the Maris Taylor Design line.
