Talk:Railroad chronometer

message: Hamilton 956 was introduced around 1915.  1,500 were produced for the Railroad trade.  Its a great example of a 17 jewel railroad watch released before 21 jewel or 23 jewel RR Watches became standard.   Not accepted by the Watch collecting hobby as a true railroad watch, because after the first 1,500 were produced, Hamilton changed it from a lever-set to a stem-set watch, and mass-produced it for general release to the public.  Some accept the theory that it was a railroad watch for the smaller Railroads.   The 956 movements were stamped with the 956 model number onto the movement plate, typical of railroad watches.  Not until decades later, as exhibited on Omega wristwatch movements, for example, did it become standard practice to put model numbers on all movements.

thread_title: Hamilton 956

message: Was the term "railroad chronometer" ever in widespread use in the USA?  I don't believe so, but I'm by no means certain.  The term "standard watch" which the article introduction mentions certainly was used, as was the plainer "railroad watch."
There was one specific watch (Keystone/Howard series 11, made c. 1910-1920) that was called the "Railroad Chronometer," but I think that's a product or brand name and not one for the category. 38.99.125.4 (talk) 19:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title 

message: This article seems to ignore the difference between chronometers (highly accurate clocks weighing several pounds) and pocket watches.  For example, the article claims that railroad-grade pocket watches of the late 19th century were required to keep time with a "maximum variation of 30 seconds (approximately 4 seconds daily) per weekly check."  This is highly unlikely, and probably physically impossible.  Even very expensive full-size mechanical clocks (like the kind used on ships' bridges in WWII, still sold new for about $2,000) gain or lose up to 60 seconds per week.  Pocket watches are less accurate.  Modern 17-jewel mechanical pocket watches generally gain/lose about 40 seconds per day.  Therefore, it is far more likely that a high-quality pocket watch of the late 19th century would gain/lose 30 seconds per *day* not per week.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xanthis2 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The article states that "The filesystem is licensed both under the GPL". But a filesystem cannot be under GPL. A document (specifying the file system) can be licensed under GPL and a specific software implementation of the filesystem can licensed under GPL, and even documents describing a specific hardware implementation can be licensed under GPL.
The article is not clear about what exactly is licensed under GPL. I guess it is the case that there is a reference software implementation that is licensed under GPL, but if that is the case I think it is appropriate to have a link to this specific reference implementation. If it is the specification document that is under GPL, I think it is appropriate to have a link to that. In general I think it is appropriate to have a link to whatever it is that is under GPL.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarl Friis (talk • contribs) 08:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

ISFDB also 
* credits Robert A. Graef with cover illustration (image on file) for the serial version, part one (Argosy, January 23, 1932). 
* credits Finlay with both cover (image on file) and interior illustration for the revised version, The Dwellers in the Mirage (Fantastic Novels Magazine, April 1941).
American Weekly. By the way, we say here of Finlay, "In 1938 he went to work for A. Merritt [author of the 1932/1941 novel] at The American Weekly, moving from Rochester to New York City." In our magazine article The American Weekly we quote thus:
: The best (and most) of the interior art is by the amazing Lee Conrey. Our collection runs from 1918 to 1943 and issues from 1923 through 1943 have his work. It's clear to me that he was a major influence on Virgil Finlay and probably on Alex Raymond. ...

replies: text:  Ok, but using a source such as www.fujara.sk, which is great for shopping but of shaky credibility when looking for facts, may lead to some pretty heavy misinformation. I play fujara-and lived in Slovakia (recently moved to the USA,) and played MANY fujaras. There is not one playable fujara that does not allow the pedal tone to be played- it is like saying that there are trombones that don't allow the pedal to sound. The instrument's quality lies in how WELL the fundamental sounds and how easy it is to control. If a playable fujara does not sound the fundamental, the problem is in the player, not the instrument. Anyway, the fundamental is a breathing technique, not a fingering technique. "Rybarske Cifry" is a fingering technique....
