    The King James clock was known as the Eltham Perpetuum, and was famous throughout Europe. It is mentioned in two works of Ben Jonson. Clocks powered by atmospheric pressure and temperature changes were subsequently developed by Pierre de Rivaz in 1740, [3] and by James Cox and John Joseph Merlin (Cox's timepiece) in the 1760s.

    Atomic clocks are installed at sites of time signal radio transmitters. [103] They are used at some long-wave and medium-wave broadcasting stations to deliver a very precise carrier frequency. [104] Atomic clocks are used in many scientific disciplines, such as for long-baseline interferometry in radio astronomy. [105]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB

    WWVB's Colorado location makes the signal weakest on the U.S. east coast, where urban density also produces considerable interference. In 2009, NIST raised the possibility of adding a second time code transmitter, on the east coast, to improve signal reception there and provide a certain amount of robustness to the overall system should weather or other causes render one transmitter site ...

    The first caesium clock was built by Louis Essen in 1955 at the National Physical Laboratory in the UK [1] and promoted worldwide by Gernot M. R. Winkler of the United States Naval Observatory. Caesium atomic clocks are one of the most accurate time and frequency standards, and serve as the primary standard for the definition of the second in ...

    The caesium atomic clock maintained by NIST is accurate to 30 billionths of a second per year. [206] Atomic clocks have employed other elements, such as hydrogen and rubidium vapor, offering greater stability (in the case of hydrogen clocks) and smaller size, lower power consumption, and thus lower cost (in the case of rubidium clocks).
