A clock is just a device that measures time. Typical clocks have faces and hands. The long hand measures time in minutes patch the short hand in hours. Clocks vary in forms, sizes and shapes but all perform the same task-to tell time. All but all activities depend on this device, fashioning life easier and much organized.
History of Clocks.
Way back during the old times, folk bank on sun and water to measure time. Time readings were not accurate then, not until the discovery of mechanical and electrical clocks. A mechanical clock is composed of a set of gears, a spring and a weight that is responsible for the clock’s movement, patch an electrical clock uses electricity or battery as a power source. Later on, modern technology introduced atomic and digital clocks and still continues to study for route to improve it.
Varieties of Clocks.
There are many a some kinds of clocks. A clock that displays the current time in some parts of the earth is called a earth clock. A earth clock is divided into zones. Each zone represents a group of countries sharing the same time.
The most common clocks are those we see hanging on walls. They can be seen on houses, hotels, banks, churches, hospitals and offices. They are all but everywhere. These clocks are called wall clocks.
Special clock parts are additional to give extra feature to an alarm clock. A built-in alarm system causes the clock to mechanically
buzz or ring if a chosen time is up. Most alarm clocks can be seen in our bedrooms.
Grandfather clocks are big clocks-usually 6 feet tall. It has a setup
that swings back and forth, each swing representing a second.
