A pendulum marks time; the case, often ornate, serves as a conversation piece. What does a clock of this type have to do with grandfathers? Was it named after one grandfather in particular?
The pendulum of a pendulum clock generates a little heat and disorder among the air molecules around it, and every laser beam that reads the state of an atomic clock generates heat, ...
At 40-feet wide and 2,000 pounds, the ceiling clock at the Lexington Central Public Library is the biggest in the world. A brass Foucault pendulum hangs down 70 feet from the center of the clock.
