Time Center at Greenwich Observes Star Transits for Precise Time
The Greenwich Observatory on the roof hosts astronomical, wind and rain instruments showing how time is measured. Star transits are recorded by a tel escope operator tapping a button as silver light crosses spider threads. Ten wires provide ten observations to average the precise transit time. The sidereal clock at Greenwich checks the earth’s rotation and signals go to provincial centers at 10 and 1. Ships’ chronometers are set when signals are dropped at Deal and Greenwich.
