Since when is the Anarchist Cookbook censored??? I have an original copy that
I'm saving for a sale about 30 years from now. ($$$ I hope) It's really a
rather simple publication with too much obvious information and questionable
recipes, or so I've been told by people who should know.

Antonio,
The earliest purpose for mechanical clocks was religious, so they
appeared in church towers in the 1600's. They were set by sundials.
The 1800's brought the telegraph and precision telescopes. Once it
was possible to transmit time signals at near the speed of light,
and to determine star

I really appreciate your level of detail as I am about to undertake the same
mods you discussed. Your experience tells me what to expect as I have not
yet popped the case. It also motivated me to go hunt out my unibits.
Let me know how it goes and I will do the same.

I wasn't giving legal advice... just pointing out one can purchase the
targets (not make them). Be legal and obey all laws... if you have to
purchase through someone with a FFL make sure the transfer is legal (or even
possible) and be responsible. Good advice Bob. But this did start out as a
Good question, probably to allow the Astronomer Royal's staff to take a
transit and check their clocks for that day.

Hi Antonio
170 years ago in the UK the time was beginning to be distributed by
telegraph. In the UK the railways were the driving force for this and a
universal (countrywide) time. Prior to that all the towns in the UK had a

Hi Bill,
The astronomers were busy doing their noon transit sighting at noon.
They ball on Flamsteed House drops at 1:00. The navigators on ships
in the harbor were also likely doing a sight at noon, they set their
clock at 1:00 by looking up at the observatory on the hill. BTW, the

Hi Murray,
Actually, the ball at Greenwich drops at 1:00 pm every day. For
everyone who can get to London, the observatory is well worth at least
a half day visit, they have several working Harrison clocks and yes

Sun dials easily give you time to about 2 minutes. You have to apply
the equation of time
but that its often given on the sun dial.
A reasonable long case clock would maintain a minute a week, so you
would need a lot of cloudy weather
to seriously lose track of time.

Navigators used chronometers to determine their longitude. If they were
stopped in one place long enough, they could work out longitude by a
complicated process of star and lunar observations; however, when they
left an established port, they usually took with them a time standard

When did clocks get good enough to notice the analemma?

In major ports, which were often protected by forts, there was often a
"noon gun".
In fact there is a joke/math olympics question about the soldier who fired
the noon gun, setting his watch every morning by a jewelers clock. The
jeweler set his clock every day by the fort's noon gun.

Hi
The simple answer is "that depends". One big driver for putting up a clock
tower in the middle of town was to indeed have "one standard" that the town
could run on. Without that - everybody is on their own.
The main clock was often regulated by a simple sundial sitting someplace
convenient
My impression is that before the Railways and Telegraph, each town had
time, based on local solar time, determined by a a noon sight or something
similar. That means that towns kept time based on their longditude.
Until the railways went long distances, Standard Time and Time Zones were
not needed
