This book complements available one-make books on domestic synchronous clocks. It is also a history of science book that sets British domestic synchronous clocks, their manufacturers and technology in their social context. Part I covers the historical background, British domestic synchronous clock manufacturers and brands, how synchronous clocks work, domestic synchronous clock cases, practical advice on the servicing of domestic synchronous clocks and analysis of the marketing and reliability of British domestic synchronous clocks. This analysis provides an explanation of the rise and eventual fall of their technology. Part II contains galleries of a selection of British domestic synchronous clocks and of the movements with which they are fitted. There is a front and back view of each clock, together with a brief description. Views of each movement include views with the movement partly dismantled, together with a brief technical description of the movement. This profusely illustrated book is primarily for fellow enthusiasts and is based on an extensive archive of information on domestic synchronous clocks, their movements and their manufacturers. Current electrical regulations mean that professional clockmakers are reluctant to repair synchronous clocks. In fact, provided that they have not been mistreated, synchronous clocks are usually reliable, and quite easy to maintain.

This Third Edition is the first English-language edition of the award-winning Meilensteine der Rechentechnik; illustrated in full color throughout in two volumes. The Third Edition is devoted to both analog and digital computing devices, as well as the world's most magnificient historical automatons and select scientific instruments (employed in astronomy, surveying, time measurement, etc.). It also features detailed instructions for analog and digital mechanical calculating machines and instruments, and is the only such historical book with comprehensive technical glossaries of terms not found in print or in online dictionaries. The book also includes a very extensive bibliography based on the literature of numerous countries around the world. Meticulously researched, the author conducted a worldwide survey of science, technology and art museums with their main holdings of analog and digital calculating and computing machines and devices, historical automatons and selected scientific instruments in order to describe a broad range of masterful technical achievements. Also covering the history of mathematics and computer science, this work documents the cultural heritage of technology as well.

Das preisgekrönte Werk „Meilensteine der Rechentechnik“ liegt in der 3., völlig neu bearbeiteten und stark erweiterten Auflage vor. Die beiden Bände, die im Ganzen rund 2000 Seiten umfassen, sind ein Gesamtwerk, lassen sich aber auch einzeln nutzen. Das Buch behandelt sowohl analoge wie digitale Geräte und geht auch auf benachbarte Bereiche wie historische Automaten und Roboter sowie wissenschaftliche Instrumente aus den Bereichen Mathematik, Astronomie, Vermessungswesen und Zeitmessung ein. Gestreift werden zudem frühe Schreibmaschinen und programmgesteuerte mechanische Webstühle. Der zweite Band widmet sich überwiegend den Elektronenrechnern: Erfindung des Computers, weltweite Entwicklung der Rechentechnik (mit Schwerpunkt Europa, besonders Deutschland, England, Schweiz). Er schließt überdies je ein umfangreiches Fachwörterbuch Deutsch-Englisch und Englisch-Deutsch ein. Hinzu kommt eine umfassende weltweite Bibliografie mit Einträgen deutscher, englischer, französischer, italienischer und spanischer Schriften. Schwerpunkte des ersten Bandes sind: Grundlagen, mechanische Rechenmaschinen, Rechenschieber, historische Automaten und Roboter sowie wissenschaftliche Instrumente, Entwicklung der Rechenkunst, Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen für analoge und digitale Rechengeräte. Eine Fülle prachtvoller Rechenmaschinen, Rechenbretter, Androiden, Figurenautomaten, Musikautomaten, Uhren, Globen und Webmaschinen wird in Farbbildern vorgestellt. Das Buch enthält ferner grundsätzliche Betrachtungen zu Themen wie digitaler Wandel und künstliche Intelligenz sowie zur Rolle der Technikgeschichte und der Erhaltung des technischen Kulturguts. Beide Bände berichten über aufsehenerregende neue Funde von Dokumenten und Gegenständen (u.a. weltgrößte serienmäßig gefertigte Rechenwalze, weltweit kleinster mechanischer Parallelrechner, erster mechanischer Prozessrechner). Das Buch, das sich auch als Nachschlagwerk eignet, ist allgemein verständlich. Es richtet sich an alle, die Freude haben an Technik-, Mathematik-, Informatik- und Kunstgeschichte. Einige Merkmale: – Mehrsprachige Bibliografie zur Mathematik-, Informatik-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaftsgeschichte mit über 6000 Einträgen – deutsch-englisches und englisch-deutsches Fachwörterbuch – 20 Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen für die Bedienung historischer analoger und digitaler Geräte – >700 Abbildungen, >150 tabellarische Übersichten, zahlreiche Zeittafeln – ausführliches Personen-, Orts- und Sachverzeichnis. Herbert Bruderer ist Dozent i.R. am Departement für Informatik der ETH Zürich und Technikhistoriker. Er hat zahlreiche Bücher zur Informatik verfasst und ist mehrfacher Preisträger.

Up until the end of the eighteenth century, the way Ottomans used their clocks conformed to the inner logic of their own temporal culture. However, this began to change rather dramatically during the nineteenth century, as the Ottoman Empire was increasingly assimilated into the European-dominated global economy and the project of modern state building began to gather momentum. In Reading Clocks, Alla Turca, Avner Wishnitzer unravels the complexity of Ottoman temporal culture and for the first time tells the story of its transformation. He explains that in their attempt to attain better surveillance capabilities and higher levels of regularity and efficiency, various organs of the reforming Ottoman state developed elaborate temporal constructs in which clocks played an increasingly important role. As the reform movement spread beyond the government apparatus, emerging groups of officers, bureaucrats, and urban professionals incorporated novel time-related ideas, values, and behaviors into their self-consciously “modern” outlook and lifestyle. Acculturated in the highly regimented environment of schools and barracks, they came to identify efficiency and temporal regularity with progress and the former temporal patterns with the old political order. Drawing on a wealth of archival and literary sources, Wishnitzer’s original and highly important work presents the shifting culture of time as an arena in which Ottoman social groups competed for legitimacy and a medium through which the very concept of modernity was defined. Reading Clocks, Alla Turca breaks new ground in the study of the Middle East and presents us with a new understanding of the relationship between time and modernity.

Despite their apparent simplicity, the behaviour of pendulums can be remarkably complicated. Historically, pendulums for specific purposes have been developed using a combination of simplified theory and trial and error. There do not appear to be any introductory books on pendulums, written at an intermediate level, and covering a wide range of topics. This book aims to fill the gap. It is written for readers with some background in elementary geometry, algebra, trigonometry and calculus. Historical information, where available and useful for the understanding of various types of pendulum and their applications, is included. Perhaps the best known use of pendulums is as the basis of clocks in which a pendulum controls the rate at which the clock runs. Interest in theoretical and practical aspects of pendulums, as applied to clocks, goes back more than four centuries. The concept of simple pendulums, which are idealised versions of real pendulums is introduced. The application of pendulums to clocks is described, with detailed discussion of the effect of inevitable differences between real pendulums and simple pendulums. In a clock, the objective is to ensure that the pendulum controls the timekeeping. However, pendulums are sometimes driven, and how this affects their behaviour is described. Pendulums are sometimes used for occult purposes. It is possible to explain some apparently occult results by using modern pendulum theory. For example, why a ring suspended inside a wine glass, by a thread from a finger, eventually strikes the glass. Pendulums have a wide range of uses in scientific instruments, engineering, and entertainment. Some examples are given as case studies. Indexed in the Book Citation Index– Science (BKCI-S)
