    Economic Transformation While researching texts written about manufacturing in the 1800s, I found several authors who published literature about how one man contributed to the transformation in economics. These authors express the importance in his work and how modern manufacturing has expanded, due to his innovation. Modern manufactory and the economic transformation can greatly be credited to Eli Terry. During the Revolutionary War, “Connecticut was the epicenter of clock-making in the United States” (Sniderman, 2012). Other clock making enthuses, such as Chauncey Jerome, along with many others took the opportunity to benefit from the war. Although, not as Soldiers but as businessmen. The quest for expanding what was once a hobby, reaches a turning point in history during the economic transformation of the 1800s. Eli Terry, grew up and completed a master clock making apprenticeship in Plymouth, Connecticut. By 1797, Terry received his “first clock patent granted by the United States Patent Office . . . "equation clock" (Sniderman, 2012). Terry, went on to patent nine more clock designs, but it was his first piece of handy work that was signed by President John Adams. As Eli Terry’s hobby and imagination increased, so did the demand of his masterpiece work. Creating a piece of crafted work by hand took time. As the demand for hand crafted clocks increased, so did the intense labor for Eli. He would create “one or two dozen at a time, using no machinery, first marking out…

    How did mankind make the timetable to mirror the time inside the diverse societies? Acknowledged frameworks for the division of time into days, months, and years, schedules mirror a human push to quantify and arrange the expanded times without bounds. Researchers partition date-books into three general classes, for example, lunar, sunlight based, and lunisolar relying on whether their worldly divisions are chiefly in view of the developments of the moon or the sun or on a trade off between both.…

    Clockwork is quite simple, each gear moves another, some gears may be smaller and some may be larger. Yet each gear remains in a constant system, running smoothly with each tooth landing in the same exact spot at the same exact time over and over and over. Strangely, the education system in America seems to be emulating this exact system. Yet if the american education system was a real clock, it would most likely be running backwards with 140 minutes in a hour. Education in the United States…

    In 1656, Huygens built the first pendulum clock, far more reliable than any time keeping methods. His pendulum clock had an error of less than 1 minute a day, an extremely accurate time measurement which was a phenomenal achievement at his time. For almost the next three centuries, clocks around the world used pendulums. In 1673, Huygens published Horologium Oscillatorium sive de motu pendulorum, his work on pendulums and horology.
