The first steps towards the mechanical measurement of time have come from the clergy. The monks had to know the exact time to pray. The first mechanical clocks were made to announce the time, not the show. These clocks were working on a weight basis, and they were equipped with certain time intervals and the knobs that hit Gonga. In the previous centuries, efforts to ensure that the old time systems gave voice warnings did not result in a positive outcome. Complex mechanisms were produced that indicate the elapsed time by throwing small stone particles or blowing the whistle.
The sun clock, water clock, and hourglass were aimed at showing the time in different ways. Mechanical clock to fulfill a certain mechanical function in the life of the monastery, to produce sound through a hammer and thus to specify specific time intervals. At that time, clocks were believed to ring bells. In English, the word ' clock ' comes from the Latin clocca and meaning the bell. However, the word then began to define all the clocks. The mechanism for mechanical clocks is a come and go scheme that holds and leaves the rope or chain that the weight hangs on short intervals and is the common characteristic of all modern clocks. Thus, a short-standing and descending weight saved the watch mechanism from being tied to the length or short of the day. The oldest type of this mechanism is known as ' wedge '. A metal rod fitted with nails and a horizontal-to-head movement with a one-to-a-side spindle in each handlebar, and the shaft acceleration is controlled by a weight attached to the outer end. Decorated. When the weight is pulled away, the oscillation accelerates, and it slows down when it gets closer. Thus, it was initially possible to determine the minutes and then seconds.
The design of Giovanni di Dondi, one of the most famous in mechanical hours, consisted of a pendulum and threaded pendulum gear to the mechanism of weight handling, and no dials per hour. The clock system, which does not match the night hours of daytime hours, is 14. In the century, the mechanical clocks continued to be carried out. The first time that divides the day in equal hours is the time of the Saint Gottard Church in Milan. In the middle of the century, the towers of major European cities have begun to see mechanical clocks and are increasingly spread. These hours, working with the come and go scheme, continued for 300 years. With the introduction of Peter Heinlein's Watch Spring in Nuremberg in the 1500 's, large weights have been made possible for portable small clocks. During the first hours, there were no dials, no scorpions, no vests. The low literacy rate needed to put bells in the clocks instead of people looking to see what they would see. Dondi, which uses the dial-in time first and the 24-slice clock in 1344, to show the time visually. Another major step in the development of the clock is the presence of the pendulum. While listening to the priest in church, realizing that the oscillating lamp on the podium was fixed, Galileo found that the pendulum is dependent on the length, not the weight or width of the oscillation period. Galileo, who was close to his death, designed a clock that worked with the pendulum. The first working pendulum time was in 1656, 14 years after Galileo's death, German astronomer Christian Huygens did.
Huygens ' clock was less than a minute before the day. This sensitivity was first increased by Huygens ' work, reducing the error to 10 seconds a day. For the first time with the presence of the pendulum, the watches and seconds were added. In the mid-1670, Huygens ' balancing development has enabled the portable clocks to become a real pocket watch. The presence of the spring mechanism has ensured that time can be measured with the same accuracy on both land and sea. With the development of the balance publication, the hours of shrinking are being carried out in the pocket or in the arm, the first cheap pocket watches produced in the US, and the wristwatch emerged in the 1890s. Initially, only the watches that women use are prevalent among men during World War I. The sensitivity of time units has begun to be questioned with these new watches that can measure time on land and sea as the same. What was the length of a second? With a simple calculation, 1/60 of the second minute, 1/60 of the minute clock, and the hour is one in 24, the average solar day is one second in 86 400. In 1820, the time intervals were standardized according to this account.
