Summary
[edit]DescriptionTime clocks-1905.jpg |
English: Precision pendulum regulator clocks at the United States Naval Observatory in 1905 which generated the time signal sent out at noon every day to all parts of the US by telegraph lines, serving as the primary time standard used to set accurate clocks throughout the US. These two clocks were synchronized to a third precision pendulum clock, the "star clock", which was set by the time of passage of stars overhead. From the source:
