91 KB | CritterCompiler | Bond regulator photographed in its display case at the Time Gallery, World Museum in Liverpool, ref. 1962.264.5. It is reported that the function of the clock at Bidston performed a service similar to that at Cambridge Observatory, ie. it was kept to accurate Greenwich time for the purpose of time distribution. It was placed into a room adjacent to the observing rooms and at some stage was fitted with electrical contacts for the same purpose. Reference: http://www.inbeat.org/wp-content/uploa... | 1 |
