Title | Drawing, Instrument for making the hand of an accurate clock by Robert Hooke |
Date | 1667 |
Description | Drawing of the instrument. This is an iteration of Hooke's universal joint and is made by connecting at specified angles several stiff steel wires which attach to a precise clock dial. The mechanical principle behind this device, Hooke states, could also be used for equations of time, resolving triangles, raising water, facilitating wheel-work and several other mechanical uses.
