I found a site three months ago that had a detailed history of clocks.
It included:
- detailed description of inventions that lead to improved precision
- information about special clocks for royalty
- information about Longitude prize
The site was about five pages, and had references.  Can you help me find it?

Could this be the site you recall?

Mdynin,
I am very pleased that I could help  - and that I went on to list the
site that helped you.  Only GA-Researchers like Tutuzdad-ga (blue
