Das Namenregister wäre allzu umfangreich geworden, wenn ausdrücklich auf die bezüglichen Arbeiten der Autoren verwiesen werden wäre, andererseits konnte eine einfache Angabe des Bandes und der Seitenzahl nicht genügen; es ist daher jeweils das Arfikelatkhwort angeführt, unter welchem der betreffende Name vorkommt und dadurch zugleich ein Hinweis auf die einschlägigen Unten suchungen gegeben. Aehnlich sind auch die Artikelstichworte im Sachregister genannt und der Leser wird schon dadurch auf die vorzugsweise von ihm ge suchten Stellen des Werkes geleitet werden.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the history, mechanics, and scientific underpinnings of the humble pendulum clock. The author traces the evolution of this timekeeping instrument, from its humble beginnings as a crude device to its modern incarnation as a marvel of precision. Along the way, the author delves into the scientific principles that govern pendulum motion, such as isochronism and compensation, and explores the various methods used to harness these principles in the construction of accurate clocks. The book also examines the broader historical context in which the pendulum clock developed, from the scientific revolution of the 17th century to the rise of industrialization in the 19th century. The author argues that the pendulum clock played a pivotal role in the development of science and technology during this period, and that it continues to be a valuable tool for scientists and engineers today. Ultimately, this book is a comprehensive and fascinating account of one of the most important inventions in the history of timekeeping. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, technology, or horology.
