Show APR!L THURSDAY 197? 21, Time For Words From The Talking Watch The day is coming when you won't have to look at your watch to find out what time it is. At the press of a button, a new wristwatch will say or clearly, whatever time it happens to be. The manufacturer of the talking timepiece, who expects to market it by next Christmas, assumes no responsibility for the reactions of passersby who eavesdrop on the watch. But if you're embarrassed at letting all within earshot share your watch's knowledge, a digital readout on its face will continue to give the time silently. battery-operate- d The "Five-oh-three- combines a liquid crystal display with a miniature speaker and a solid state watches, says the National Geographic Society. technological marvel in d the timepiece was meant to be worn on a neck chain. It featured a coiled mainspring, its single hand told only the hours, and it was "accurate" to within two or three hours a day. A memory. 1505, PATENT FOR the vocal watch was granted last December to Intersonies Corporation of New York. Robert W. Lester, president of the research firm, says the watch's voice can be composed of information bits that will reasonably reproduce any selected person's voice in any language customers want. A ," Watchmaking has made dramatic advances in recent years by adapting space-age technology and miniaturization.

With development of the spiral balance spring in 1675, another hand was added to measure minutes and the portable toys became true timekeepers. Watchmakers became spe- cialists and watch movements were reduced and refined to fit into flat cases Mercury Goes Down, Up Go 033OB GH9 wB that could be carried in the pocket. Wristwatches at first were considered effeminate, though some were worn by British cavalry officers in the Boer War. The heavily laden troops of World War I found them practical, and they soon became more popular than the bulkier pocket watches.

Fahrenheit, a German physicist who spent most of his life in Holland and England as an instrument maker. The zero in Fahrenheit's scale represented the coldest temperature anybody could produce in those days, by mixing snow and salt. For a hot temperature, he chose the normal heat of human blood, which was known to be the same everywhere. Then he divided the scale into 12, and soon multiplied it by 8 to provide more calibrations. This put the temperature (comman's blood at pared to the true 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), with water of freezing at 32 and boiling at 212. Anders Celsius, a Swedish chemist living at the same time, was the first to come up with the handier idea of choosing freezing and boiling water as the extremes of a basic thermometer, with 100 degrees in between creating the conversion problems of CLASSIFICATIONS ACCOMODATION RATE CHART CIRCLE THE CLASSIFICATION YOU DESIRE Announcements .
