Hennen: Senior Technical Editor It is unfortunate that at AWi and in the Horological Margie M. Brater: Circulation Manager Times, we cannot be all things to all people at all times. Nancy Wellmann: Business Manager Mary Sansalone: Seminar Coordinator Case in point: In the "Readers Write" column, Decem­ ber 1992, we allowed a very negative letter to be TECHNICAL EDITORS published. The writer's lack of good taste even caused Robert F. Bishop J.M. Huckabee him to use a four-letter word. I believe we (AWi) made James H. Broughton John P. Kenyon a mistake, not by publishing his letter but by reprinting Fred S. Burckhardt John A. Nagle this four letter word of his. We could have left a blank David A. Christianson Archie B. Perkins space or four dashes and we could have guessed that a Charles Cleves Robert D. Porter foul word was used. It is apparent that the writerofthat Joe Crooks Marshall F. Richmond article does not have a broad enough vocabulary of Wes Door Marvin E. Whitney Henry B. Fried acceptable adjectives, or just lacks respect for our members. AWi OFFICERS Indeed, I am a little embarrassed that I live in an adjacent state to him. I am not Wes Door, CMW: President suggesting that we build a great wall between our states, as I do know many watchmakers Joseph L. Cerullo, CMW, CMC: First Vice President and clockmakers in Oregon. We certainly would not want to discredit any of the fine Henry Frystak, CMW: Second Vice President craftsmen in that state because of the negative attitude of one person. Fred S. Burckhe.rdt: Secretary I would like to say that we should just consider the source and forget it, but that Gerald G. Jaeger, CMW, CMEW, FAWI: Treasurer would not be a nice thing to say. So I won't say it. Now, what I cannot forget is his remarks about Fred Burckhardt, referring to AWi DIRECTORS Fred's October article. Fred's tongue-in-cheek humorous articles have been accepted by William Biederman, CMW Robert F. Bishop, CMEW most all members (maybe all members but one). We accept Fred's and his exceptional Buddy Carpenter, CMC, CMEW ability to make us laugh. Many of us read his articles.first; we need a good laugh or two Charles Cleves and Fred has this unusual ability to lighten our day just a little. Ewell D. Hartman, CMW, FAWI Fred can be very serious and most members probably do not even know the good Gerhard Hutter, CMW sales articles, manuals, etc. that he has written. Also, many may not know of all of his Benjamin Matz, CMW exceptional abilities as he chooses not to put letters after his name to indicate these, as many John A. Nagle of us have done. With all the lectures, seminars, and workshops that Fred has done, it is Robert A. Nelson, CMW, CMEW, FAWl difficult to see how anyone could find fault with his articles or his abilities. He is a very Marshall F. Richmond, CMW good horologist and gemologist who enjoys making us laugh, and he does it without using James E. Williams, CC any profanity. In fact, probably the best four-letter word we have in our AWi organization Joseph L. Cerullo, CMW, CMC: Affiliate Chapter is FRED. Director We at AWi are always looking for those with the ability, willingness, and desire Tony Knorr: Research & Education Council Director to write monthly articles for our Horological Times. Most of our writers are not Alice B. Carpenter, CMW, CMEW: Immediate Psst professional writers. They write in their own way about subjects they know about, and this President seems to please most of our members. We need good, clean language articles written in a positive manner. These articles do not have to please anyone. Ifwe please just 5999 of our Milton C. Stevens, FAWI: Executive Secretary 6000 members, this is close enough. David LaFleche: General Manager I need to close now so I can re-read some of Fred's articles. James Lubic: Technical & Educational Services Manager Henry B.

This beauty is a full 131/2 inches high and no photo­ graph could do ii justice. Only 750 were set aside for North America. A temperature change of only 1 degree Fahrenheit lets the Almos store enough energy for forty-eight hours. Each revolu­ tion of the cylindrical torsion pendulum takes a full 60 seconds. This slow opera­ tion, fine precision construction, and smooth running bearings means that the energy ii lakes to light one 15 wall bulb would be enough lo keep 60 million Atmos mecha­ nisms in motion. In 1984 this 150th Anniversary Almos sold for $2,950-while the standard model Atmos was only $1, 100. Today the standard Almos is worth about $1,600. If all things were equal ii should mean that the limited edi­ tion, if still available, should be worth al least $4,300-bul, the company has been out of stock for several years. I have a limited number of these beauties, in their original factory sealed cartons, just as they were received from the Swiss fac­ tory in 1984.

    Invar, Established a New Standard in the Way Precise Surveying Measurements Were Made, Both in Reliability and Accuracy

    I N VA R The Breakthrough for a Low Expansion Alloy he discovery of the low expansion alloy, Invar, established a new standard in the way precise surveying measurements were made, both in reliability and accuracy. It became the first successful attempt to produce a metal alloy exhibiting a nearly zero coefficient of thermal expansion. In 1889, James Riley of Glasgow, Scotland, brought before the Iron and Steel Institute his investigations into the making of an alloy through a series of tests which combined up to 49 percent nickel with iron. Seven years later, in 1896, Charles Edouard Guillaume, a Swiss-born metallurgist and employee with the International Bureau of Weights and Measures near Paris, began looking specifically for an alloy to be used for surveyors’ wires that would not noticeably change when exposed to temperature variations. While experimenting with nickel contents between 30 and 60 percent, Guillaume discovered the coefficient of expansion at room temperature was lowest when mixing a nickel content of 36 percent with 64 percent iron. Since his new alloy exhibited the least amount of thermal expansion, and because Guillaume considered it invariable, it quickly became known as “Invar”. In 1920, Guillaume was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of Invar >> By Jerry Penry, PS Displayed with permission • The American Surveyor • Vol. 9 No. 10 • Copyright 2012 Cheves Media • www.Amerisurv.com The Sokkia BIS30 3-meter Invar bar code leveling staff in use during a high precision survey.

    BSTJ 27: 3. July 1948: the Evolution of the Quartz Crystal Clock

    The Evolution of the Quartz Crystal Clock* By WARREN A. MARRISON SOME of the earliest documents in human history relate to man's interest in timekeeping. This interest arose partly because of his curiosity about the visible world around him, and partly because the art of time measure- ment became an increasingly important part of living as the need for cooper- ation between the members of expanding groups increased. There are still in existence devices believed to have been made by the Egyptians six thousand years ago for the purpose of telling time from the stars, and there is good reason to believe that they were in quite general use by the better educated people of that period. 1 Since that period there has been a continuous use and improvement of timekeeping methods and devices, following sometimes quite independent lines, but developing through a long series of new ideas and refinements into the very precise means at our disposal today. The art of timekeeping and time measurement is of very great value, both from its direct social use in permitting time tables and schedules to be made, and in its relation to other arts and the sciences in which the measurement of rate and duration assume ever increasing importance. The early history of timekeeping was concerned almost entirely with the first of these and for many centuries the chief purpose of timekeeping devices was to provide means for the approximate subdivision of the day, particularly of the day- light hours. The most obvious events marking the passage of time were the rising and setting of the sun and its continuous apparent motion from east to west through the sky.

    C HARLES - É . G UILLAUME Invar and elinvar Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1920 The anomaly of nickel steels Discovery of the anomaly - In 1889 the General Conference on Weights and Measures met at Sèvres, the seat of the International Bureau. It performed the first great deed dictated by the motto inscribed in the pediment of the splendid edifice that is the metric system : "A tous les temps, a tous les peuples" (For all times, to all peoples); and this deed consisted in the approval and distribution, among the governments of the states supporting the Metre Con- vention, of prototype standards of hitherto unknown precision intended to propagate the metric unit throughout the whole world. These prototypes were indeed noteworthy. They were made of a plati- num-iridium alloy developed by Henri Sainte-Claire-Deville which com- bined all the qualities of hardness, permanence, and resistance to chemical agents which rendered it suitable for making into standards required to last for centuries. Yet their high price excluded them from the ordinary field of science; at that time a single metre actually cost 7,000 crowns - and how much more today! A less costly answer had to be sought since between these precious proto- types and standards affording only uncertain guarantees there was a gap which nothing could fill. I first examined this problem in 1891 and soon discovered the really ex- cellent properties of pure nickel and still today this is the metal used to make a non-oxidizable standard, unaffected by the passage of time, rigid and of average expansibility.

    The legacy of Charles-Édouard Guillaume Swiss perspective Philippe RICHARD Federal institute of metrology METAS Director Guillaume and Switzerland – Charles-Édouard Guillaume was born in Fleurier in Val de Travers on 15 February 1861. The city of Fleurier has two Nobel laureates! – From a watchmaking family, he focused part of his research on precision watchmaking and collaborated all his life with the watchmaking circles in his birth region. – Even after 53 years devoted to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, Charles-Édouard Guillaume Guillaume’s family home in Fleurier remained deeply attached to Switzerland. © Fondation C.-E. Guillaume, Fleurier 2 Guillaume and Switzerland – In Switzerland, the memory of Charles-Édouard Guillaume, who became famous for his Nobel prize, is strongly associated with his work on precision horology. On the opening of one of the conferences he gave at La Chaux de Fonds, he declared: « Quand on parcourt les montagnes neuchâteloises, on est frappé par l’importance de l’horlogerie. » [When you walk in the mountains of the Neuchâtel region you are stunned by the importance of horology.] – In 1815, Charles-Frédéric Guillaume, Charles-Édouard Guillaume’s grandfather, sought refuge in England where he married a descendant of Revocation refugees who came from the Neuchâtel region. – They started a family and had three boys and established a horology activity. Charles-Édouard Guillaume’s father, who grew up in London before going back to Switzerland, became in turn a horologist. He is also highly educated and passed on to Charles-Édouard the taste for knowledge and horology. 3 Precision horology − The discovery of invar was an opportunity to return to the family tradition.
