The clock you heard strike -- it's really the town clock -- was installed last April by Mrs. Shorter, on her birthday ''.

The next morning, as the clock struck nine, he appeared at the Council meeting in the Town Hall and insisted that the couple would have to be punished if the Church was to be respected.

The clock on the mantel piece was scandalized and ticked so loudly that he glanced at it over his shoulder and then quickly left the room.

If only there was a clock for him to crawl against.

He was early exposed to the mechanical world, and in his youth often helped his father, David Brown, master clock and watchmaker, as he plied his trade.

On the clock given him was the inscription, `` For Outstanding Contribution to Billiken Basketball, 1960-61 ''.

It was an awkward hour, but I didn't have to punch any time clock, and it only meant that sometimes I had to stay a couple of hours later at the drawing board to finish up a job.

This was intended to give broader protections for disabled workers and " turn back the clock " on court rulings that Congress deemed too restrictive.

The alternating current power line frequency of 60 Hz was the primary clock rate for the lowest level operations.

He was responsible for the destruction of the musical clock organ that Elizabeth I of England sent to the court during the reign of his father.

* In that era of carefully counting clock cycles and limited memory, it was inefficient to write speed-dependent programs that ran on a runtime interpreter.

As the towns and cities of the Middle Ages began to grow, and the general populace was unable to read, signs that today would say cobbler, miller, tailor or blacksmith would use an image associated with their trade such as a boot, a suit, a hat, a clock, a diamond, a horse shoe, a candle or even a bag of flour.

The Athlon's three decoders could potentially decode three x86 instructions to six microinstructions per clock, although this was somewhat unlikely in real-world use.

This high-speed SDRAM cache was run at a divisor of the processor clock and was accessed via its own 64-bit bus, known as a " back-side bus " allowing the processor to both service system front side bus requests ( the rest of the system ) and cache accesses simultaneously verses the traditional approach of pushing everything through the front-side bus.

AMD's older CPUs could simply be set to run at whatever clock speed the user chose on the motherboard, making it trivial to relabel a CPU and sell it as a faster grade than it was originally intended.

It was sold at speeds ranging from 600 MHz to 1. 4 GHz ( Athlon Classics using the Slot A package could clock up to 1 GHz ).

In October 2000, the Athlon " C " was introduced, raising the mainboard front side bus speed from 100 MHz to 133 MHz ( 266 MT / s ) and providing roughly 10 % extra performance per clock over the " B " model Thunderbird.

Like their mobile K6-2 +/ III + predecessors, the CPUs were capable of dynamic clock adjustment for power optimization, and also was the reason for the unlocked multiplier.

For example, the internal clock frequency of the original IBM PC was 4. 77 MHz, that is, Hz.

The Greek and Roman civilizations are credited for initially advancing water clock design to include complex gearing, which was connected to fanciful automata and also resulted in improved accuracy.

Some water clock designs were developed independently and some knowledge was transferred through the spread of trade.

Unfortunately, because the ISA bus was originally locked to the processor clock, this meant that some 286 machines had ISA buses that ran at 10, 12, or even 16 MHz.

Although originally released to vinyl at a running time of 2 minutes and 8 seconds, most digital / CD releases of the original 1954 recording, starting with the " From The Original Master Tapes " compilation of Bill's work with Decca Records, mastered by Steve Hoffman and released in 1985, clock in at 2: 10.

The five quarter chimes were taken from the old peal of twelve in the Oxford Tower ( where the clock was originally ), and hung from beams in the Arundel Tower.

The building originally had a smaller federal style cupola but was later replaced with a late Victorian clock tower in the second Empire style.

Rio Vista is home to Devil's Tower, a stone clock tower that is claimed to be haunted, that was originally built by sugar baron Manuel Rionda ( 1854 – 1943 ) in order to allow his wife to see New York from the New Jersey side of the Hudson River.

Also, when Burke was asked if she had a tape while being interviewed on RTE 6 o ' clock news on May 31st 2011 by Caitriona Perry, Perry asserted that " despite originally believing that she had a recording of the interview, Helen Lucy Burke is now not so sure ".

The PR number was originally believed to show the clock speed ( in megahertz ) of an equivalent Pentium 4 processor, but this was never confirmed by AMD.

Horologium was created in the 18th century by Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, who originally named it Horologium Oscillitorium after the pendulum clock to honour its inventor, Christiaan Huygens.

The shot clock was originally 45 seconds before it was changed to 60 seconds for 2005.

The building and clock tower were originally built by Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko.

* East and Old Church, originally the parish kirk, with a tall slender spire, with steeple clock overlooking the town centre.

* A precision pendulum clock, originally used as a time-standard for adjusting or regulating other clocks and watches

The location was originally the junction of the main roads to Preston, Liverpool and Wigan, and was marked by a market cross until it was replaced by the current clock tower in the nineteenth century.

The game was originally planned around a Motorola 6809E processor, but problems with the external clock for this CPU led to its abandonment in favor of a Zilog Z80.

Among historical landmarks in the town are a free-standing 17th-century clock tower, a grand town hall originally designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, Collingwood House the Georgian home of Admiral Lord Collingwood, and a 13th-century chapel called The Chantry which is now the tourist information centre and houses such cultural institutions as the Morpeth Chantry Bagpipe Museum.

The scoreboard clock was originally a replica of the Longines clock at Crosley Field, but has since been modified.

The base of the Reloj was made originally for a kiosk but it was decided to put the clock here instead.

Great St. Mary's church was originally built in the 13th century ( although a church on the site existed in Saxon times ) and includes a Tudor tower containing a clock bell ( 1664 ) and eight ringing bells, the oldest of which dates from 1749.

The clock was made by Gillett and Bland ( predecessor of Gillett and Johnston ) and was originally wound using hydraulic power supplied by Manchester Hydraulic Power.

His grandfather, who had moved to Vienna from Berlin, was a clock manufacturer, and Boltzmann ’ s mother, Katharina Pauernfeind, was originally from Salzburg.

General Purpose Simulation System ( GPSS ) ( originally Gordon's Programmable Simulation System after creator Geoffrey Gordon ; the name was changed when it was decided to release it as a product ) is a discrete time simulation general-purpose programming language, where a simulation clock advances in discrete steps.

The " 5 seconds closely guarded " rule was originally introduced partially to prevent stalling, and other rules changes were made to the college rules through the 1970s in hopes of eliminating stalling without using a shot clock, as the National Basketball Association had used since the 1954-55 season.
