Re: [time-nuts] PBS, Tue evening, The Secret of Tuxedo Park
I can't stress enough how important Loomis was to the history of precise timekeeping in early radio, telephone, pendulum clock, quartz oscillator era. And for those of us who still have Loran-C receivers can thank him (Loomis Radio Navigation -> LRN -> Loran). So I highly recommend the 2003 book "Tuxedo Park" by Jennet Conant: http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Tuxedo-Park/Jennet-Conant/9780684872889 Our kind of guy. In the "Palace of Science" chapter she writes: Loomis would remain a "time nut" for the rest of his life, according to Luis Alvarez, who recalled that Loomis always wore "two Accutrons--one on his right wrist and one on his left wrist." He would check them every day against WWV (the standard frequency broadcasting station of the National Bureau of Standards), and if one was gaining a half second on the other, he would wear it on the outside of his wrist instead of the inside, so that gravity changed the rate of the tuning fork and the two watches tracked each other, and WWV, "to within less than a second a day."

Re: [time-nuts] PBS, Tue evening, The Secret of Tuxedo Park
Hello to the group. I did read the book several years ago. Its quite good and I had no idea about any of this. Sort of amazing.

Re: [time-nuts] PBS, Tue evening, The Secret of Tuxedo Park
I could only afford a single Accutron, so I got in the habit of storing it overnight in an orientation estimated to correct bedtime error by wake up time. I got pretty good at it.

Re: [time-nuts] PBS, Tue evening, The Secret of Tuxedo Park
Thanks for the link. I watched it on the internet with my iPhone. I have to admit that I never heard of Alfred Lee Loomis before, maybe because he was not known in Germany. OT: I have a fundamental problem with these kind of documentation as I always ask myself which movie sequence is real and authentic and what is staged (Hollywood style). I would certainly appreciate if authentic sequences could be marked as authentic movie sequence. Maybe it's just me as I retired my TV 26 years ago. vy 73 Heinz DH2FA, KM5VT Von meinem iPhone gesendet > Am 17.01.2018 um 07:45 schrieb Joseph Gray : > > I watched the episode with only a few minor buffering issues.
