10 ENGLISH BOOKS RELATING TO «AMMONIA CLOCK»
Discover the use of
ammonia clock in the following bibliographical selection. Books relating to
ammonia clock and brief extracts from same to provide context of its use in English literature.
But the ammonia clock still requires clumsy and expensive equipment— quartz
crystals, frequency multipliers, and servo-mechanisms. Dr. Harold Lyons, who
built the first model, is now trying to eliminate these by working down from the
high ...

Splitting The Second: The Story of Atomic Time
Ammonia clock As fate would have it, the first atomic clock was not based on
caesium at all. It was not even based on an atom, but on a molecule. Harold
Lyons, a physicist working at the US National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in
Washington ...

The first clock of this kind was the ammonia clock, using the molecules of
gaseous ammonia to provide the basic frequency. Radio waves generated in an
attached circuit were fed into the gas and the frequency of the circuit adjusted
until ...

The ammonia clock is not used as much in experimentation because of the
greater accuracy of the cesium clock. The ammonia clock works in a frequency of
slightly over twenty-three thousand hertz, whereas a cesium clock works in a ...

It did not appear, however, that the ammonia clock could be refined much further.
High-precision clocks and microwave frequency standards had a number of
potential applications. Precise atomic clocks could be used to determine whether
...
Work continues elsewhere on the ammonia clock, notably in the United States,
the Soviet Union and Switzerland. Dr. Jacques Bonanomi, of the Swiss
Watchmaking Research Laboratory, has built an ammonia clock which is reputed
to be ...
