Father Time Sets Clocks in Capital
Ralph E. Gould, chief of the time section at the U S Bureau of Standards, heads a small team testing watches for government and private clients and developing electronic timing from 0 to one hundred thousandth of a second. He keeps three standard clocks in a vault, two from Germany and one from England, which drift only about two hundredths of a second per day. Gould also serves as secretary of the Horological Institute of America, which trains and certifies horologists, with about 2,000 members including students and professionals. The institute certifies applicants after a practical clock test and a written exam, and Gould predicts a rise in candidates as more GI’s complete horology programs.
