Clock (4) - Paper - 1970-1980

Books on the origins/history of time measurement.

The development is covered from the early 13th century with water clocks and hourglasses to the early modern period of the twentieth century with atomic clocks and radio-controlled timekeeping instruments. The developmental history, from gatekeeper clocks, clocks for use in homes, tower clocks, and specialized accurate timepieces for various scientific and societal purposes.
