Beschreibung

The Chronometer: Its Origin, and Present Perfection is a book written by Thomas Porthouse in 1848. The book provides a detailed history and analysis of the chronometer, a precise timekeeping device used for navigation at sea. Porthouse explores the origins of the chronometer, tracing its development from early timekeeping devices to the modern precision instruments of the mid-19th century. He also discusses the various components of the chronometer, including the balance wheel, escapement, and mainspring, and how they work together to maintain accurate timekeeping. Additionally, Porthouse examines the different types of chronometers, their construction, and their use in navigation. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and technology of timekeeping, as well as for those studying navigation and maritime history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
