E.P. Thompson identified these devices as the fundamental precursor of capitalism and themodenr state. Julien Le Roy made these devices for King Louis XV, and Richard of Wallingfordspent over 30 years creating one of these devices in St. Alban's. The earliest forms of these devicesmost likely made use of a verge-and-foilot escapement. John Harrison won a prize for designing thesedevices to solve the problem of (*) longitude. Digital forms of these devices make use of crystaloscillators, and Abraham-Louis Perrelet improved one of these devices to reduce the amount of windingnecessary. For 10 points, name these devices, a large one of which can be seen on the face of London's BigBen.
