At the press of a button, a a liquid crystal display with a miniature speaker and a solid state combines memory. A technological marvel in 1505, PATKNT FOR the vocal watch was granted last December to Intersonics 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. new wristwatch will say or clearly, whatever time it happens to A Five-oh-thre- e, 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 youre 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 Watchmaking has made dramatic advances in recent years by adapting space-ag- e technology and miniaturization. It's a far cry from the Nuremburg Egg, considered the forerunner of modern watch, called Sonatime, 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 mere popular than the bulkier pocket watches. watches, says the National Geographic Society. the egg-size- d 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. MOST EARLY watches were made by locksmiths, who produced them in vari- became ous shapes, including ovals, squares, and octagons. 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 specialists and watch movements were reduced and refined to fit into flat cases (fcSDftSB Friday of - Kiss "liiOT Paifc is the Rtir 77 Si Main For 20 Open At 7:00 0ff lerYthin9 WTTO5 541 N.

Fahrenheit, a German physicist who spent most of his life in Holland and England as an instrument maker. The zero in Fahrenheits scale represented the coldest 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 calibrat- ions. This put the temperature man's blood at 96 (compared to the true 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), with water freezing at 32 and boiling at of 212.
