Excerpt from A New System of Electric Clocks: Its Principles and "Advantages"
This determination found still more encouragement when the unanimous vote of the Committee on Science and Arts, of the Franklin Institute, recommended the granting of the Elliott Cresson Gold Medal to me as a warm appro val and commendation for this very ingenious invention And when the Board of Managers of that Institution granted to me this honor, I even felt it to be my duty to vindicate their generous action by further endeavoring to develop old or supply new means for the removal of well-known defects in the electric time service.

Excerpt from A New System of Electric Clocks: Its Principles and "Advantages"
A few years ago, when my fundamentally new system of Time Telegraphs, new both in device and action, was first made known through the Journal of the Franklin Institute; and the various publications devoted to electrical subjects, especially those of Europe, universally opened their columns for its favorable consideration, I resolved to devote my time and labor to a further development and perfection of such arrangement in Time Telegraphy as had been heretofore either defective in device or too intricate in mechanical construction, and therefore not easily maintainable by any except a thoroughly schooled attendant.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel system of Time Telegraphs (electric clocks) created by the author. In an era when electric clocks were marked by serious drawbacks such as noise, fragility, and unreliability, this book introduces a system that addresses these issues head-on. The author's system boasts a unique 'Sparkless Current-Breaker' that eliminates the destructive spark produced by induced currents, ensuring a more stable and longer-lasting operation. Moreover, the author introduces a novel 'Electro-Magnetic Escapement' that eliminates the violent actions and loud clatter of armatures in conventional electric clocks, improving overall clock performance and longevity. Beyond the technical advances, the book underscores the author's keen understanding of the broader challenges and potential of Time Telegraphy. The author emphasizes the role of Time Telegraphs in distributing accurate time across vast distances, with applications in public transportation, industrial settings, and everyday life. This book is a must-read for engineers, electricians, historians of technology, and anyone interested in the evolution of timekeeping and the practical applications of electricity. The author's insights into the complexities of electric clocks and his innovative solutions continue to shape the field of Time Telegraphy today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333932930_0
