Название: Harrison Decoded: Towards A Perfect Pendulum Clock
Автор: Rory McEvoy, Jonathan Betts
Издательство: Oxford University Press
Год: 2020
Формат: PDF
Размер: 20 Мб
Язык: английский / English
Brings together the output of a forty-year collaborative research project that unpicked and put into practice the fine details of John Harrison's extraordinary pendulum clock system. Harrison predicted that his unique method of making pendulum clocks could provide as much as one-hundred-times the stability of those made by his contemporaries. However, his final publication, which promised to describe the system, was a chaotic jumble of information, much of which had nothing to do with clockwork. One contemporary reviewer of Harrison's book could only suggest that the end result was a product of Harrison's 'superannuated dotage.'
