HOW TT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Chronometer." I"

The chronometer is timekeeper
used usually for determining longitude
at sea. It's mechanism is essentially
the same as that of an ordinary watch,
with greater exactness. Usually much
larger in size, it Is familiar to visitors
10 the bridge deck of a ship as hang
ing in a frame of balancing rings
called 'gimbals" which prevent the
motion of the ship from greatly in
huencing its accuracy.
''Chronometer" is derived from
"chronos." meaning time and me
tron," measure. 1t is in the derivi-
alton of the first half of the word
that we find the romance in its story.
For the chronometer owes the origin
of it's name to character in Greek
mythology. He was Chronos, first and
chief deity of the ancients, and the
god of time. Hence the perpetuation
of his name in a modern timepiece.
