This water clock was five holes in sticks and bones. Scientists believe that they were stories tall and had a very large water wheel. possibly counting the days between the phases of the moon. The first known mechanical clock invented was in the 13th century very similar to the water clock but used mercury and it controlled the drum at a more constant rate. Galileo Galilei was the first to study the pendulum and Christiaan Huygens used his work to create the first clock using a pendulum. Over time they found that the longer the pendulum, the more accurate the time, so that is why pendulum clocks are a tall rectangular shape. Jost Burgi invented the minute hand in 1577 for an astronomer.

As a result, our March meeting was cancelled. So that you don’t miss out Richard has kindly written an article on the subject we missed. Please also take note of the information he has produced regarding the virus. However, we did hold a committee meeting and it was decided that we should also cancel our next meeting scheduled for April 21st. It is also likely that our May 19th meeting will go the same way. We have also heard that all the IWM museums have been closed until further notice. As a result, our scheduled Duxford outing of May 22nd will unfortunately, NOT now go ahead. All this means that we may be unlikely to be able to reconvene until at least our June meeting. This will be kept under review by our Social committee who will continue to meet on a regular basis. We will keep you all updated with any changes as they affect us. Additionally, we shall keep you posted by way of a monthly newsletter, rather than two monthly as is usual. Any future events may well be subject to other restrictions which are out of our control. We are however, intending to continue to make the arrangements for all the future events as per our calendar, of which you will all have a copy.

    An Introductory History of British Broadcasting ‘. a timely and provocative combination of historical narrative and social analysis. Crisell’s book provides an important historical and analytical introduc- tion to a subject which has long needed an overview of this kind.’ Sian Nicholas, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television ‘Absolutely excellent for an overview of British broadcasting history: detailed, systematic and written in an engaging style.’ Stephen Gordon, Sandwell College An Introductory History of British Broadcasting is a concise and accessible history of British radio and television. It begins with the birth of radio at the beginning of the twentieth century and discusses key moments in media history, from the first wireless broadcast in 1920 through to recent developments in digital broadcasting and the internet. Distinguishing broadcasting from other kinds of mass media, and evaluating the way in which audiences have experienced the medium, Andrew Crisell considers the nature and evolution of broadcasting, the growth of broadcasting institutions and the relation of broadcasting to a wider political and social context. This fully updated and expanded second edition includes: ■ The latest developments in digital broadcasting and the internet ■ Broadcasting in a multimedia era and its prospects for the future ■ The concept of public service broadcasting and its changing role in an era of interactivity, multiple channels and pay per view ■ An evaluation of recent political pressures on the BBC and ITV duopoly ■ A timeline of key broadcasting events and annotated advice on further reading Andrew Crisell is Professor of Broadcasting Studies at the University of Sunderland.

  • The Interval Signal--A Vanishing and Endangered Species
    THE INTERVAL SIGNAL – A VANISHING AND ENDANGERED SPECIES Compiled by Andy Emmerson Nostalgia’s a funny thing. Even the most trivial of items can take on significance when their disappearance is threatened. The British public rose to protect the red telephone kiosk when British Telecom put this essential element of the urban and rural landscape at risk. In the event its survival was assured by public demand. In the radio listening ‘landscape’ a humbler but equally common feature has all but disappeared so perhaps it’s time to accord its true significance to the radio Interval Signal. Nearly every radio listener has heard interval and identification signals, on the short waves even if nowhere else, although some older established European stations still use them on medium wave as well. Although frequently lumped together, the two sounds serve different purposes; the ident is just that—an identifier—whereas the interval signal was a filler to occupy the channel when no other programme was being broadcast, perhaps for thirty seconds before the hour or while listeners waited for another station to join the network. Many international broadcasters provided interval signals for several minutes before signing on to help listeners tune in. There are other differences too; idents are generally short chimes, fanfares or similar musical motifs whereas interval signals are a longer piece of music or sound repeated over and over. For many British listeners, the most familiar station ‘ident’ was the Luxembourg gong, and even though some German stations also used a gong, the gong used by ‘Luxy’ was unmistakable (except when Barry Alldis or one of the other presenters confided he was temporarily in another studio, where the gong sounded quite different).

  • Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX
    856 AABA – advert (Seven-Up) Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX Explanations and tips. Apart from the usual listing of names (people, musical works, films, TV pro- grammes, etc.), of topics discussed, and of terms presented in the book, this index also includes many of the connotations provided by respondents (e.g. SAD, ‘ALWAYS HAS BEEN’), categories of such connotation (e.g. SAD, STASIS) and constructional descriptors of music linked to such categories (see, for example, under CHORD, MODES, SOUND PROCESSING, TEMPO). Readers can therefore check our discussion of musical semiosis in terms of both signfier and signified. Since this index would have swelled to even more unwieldy proportions if we had lumped all individual connotations (VVAs) under their respective taxonomic heading, readers wishing to check our discussion of a particular connotation or response subcategory are advised to consult appendices 3 and 4 for related concepts. To check which particular VVA occurred in conjunction with which tune, see appendix 3. To check our taxonomy of responses, see appendix 4. Political incorrectness. Several categories produced in the indexing process come across as politically in- correct in the extreme (see, for example, MEN, MENTAL DISORDER, WOMEN). Such categorisation in no way rep- resents the views of either author. It does, however, we would hope, reflect the true nature of the implicit, musicogenic, categorisation discussed and documented in this book (see last chapter for explanation). Waivers. The authors do not guarantee that this index: [1] includes every single page reference to every con- cept listed below, nor every single concept occurring in the book; [2] provides 100% accuracy of page refer- encing, although a four-hour random check did produce satisfactory results.

  • The Construction of Modern Timekeeping
    THE CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN TIMEKEEPING THE CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN TIMEKEEPING IN THE ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD, 1876-1913 BY SCOTT JOHNSTON, B.A. (Hons.), M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Scott Johnston, July 2018 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: The Construction of Modern Timekeeping in the Anglo-American World, 1876- 1913 AUTHOR: Scott Johnston, B.A. (Hons.) (Brock University), M.A. (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Professor S. Heathorn NUMBER OF PAGES: x, 351 ii Lay Abstract This dissertation asks why the system of time measurement set up towards the end of the nineteenth century took the form that it did. While partially dependent on new technologies such as railways and telegraphs, timekeeping was shaped more directly by the cultural context of the individuals involved. The dissertation uses the 1884 International Meridian Conference as a case study to suggest that time reform was driven by professional norms more than by national interest or changes in technology. Astronomers and engineers came to the conference with very different visions for modern timekeeping. Indeed, questions about the very nature of accurate time was at the heart of the debate: was time a public good, a commodity, or a specialized tool? The answers to these questions depended heavily on one’s profession, and as a result the standard time system that emerged was far from inevitable, and in fact remained incomplete. iii Abstract This dissertation asks why the system of time measurement set up towards the end of the nineteenth century took the form that it did.
