Hi All
*/Preface/*
/The technology of timekeeping has changed dramatically in recent years
due, in part, to the development of microelectronic circuitry. Digital
electronic wristwatches would have been the size of refrigerators in the
early 1950s, and the size of cigar boxes in the late 1960s. This book
presents a brief history of timekeeping and some fundamentals of various
mechanical, electrical, electronic, and atomic timekeepers. //
/
/The basic principles of digital logic and its application to electronic
timekeeping circuits are explored. The different families of digital
logic circuits and readout devices used in clocks and watches are
described. //
/
/Chapter 6 compares the characteristics and applications of many popular
LSI clock and watch circuits and presents some circuit hints. Chapters 7
and 8 describe commercially available electronic time-keepers. The
detailed examination of some of these products will give the electronics
experimenter, the clock enthusiast, and the engineer a better grasp of
the circuits and techniques used. //
/
/Chapter 9 presents two construction projects for the
do-it-your-selfers. Both have been tested extensively and will work if
the instructions are followed. //
/
/The two appendices contain data on some of the ICs and readouts
mentioned in the text and the names and addresses of sources of
components and kits. //
/
/The brief bibliography will open up a vast store of knowledge to those
interested in pursuing the fascinating avenues of timekeeping. //
/
Very much of book of the 1970' state-of-the art.
