[time-nuts] Woman Sets Office Clocks by 100-Year-Old Watch

[Alan Melia]

Hi Brooke to bring it up to date, David Rooney who was (is?) the curator of 
the time gallery at Greenwich wrote a book on on the Belevilles, father and 
daughter and their service to London clock repair shops . It is titled 
''Ruth Belville: The Greenwich Time Lady'' and published by the National 
Maritime Museum, Greenwich.  ISBN 978-0-948065-97-2
It covers 1795 to 1943

 I met David at an NPL Time and Frequency Club meeting and was able to put 
him in contact with a retired P.O.Research engineer who was resposible for 
thr UK speaking Clock development. This also enabled him to gain provenance 
for a couple of early quartz clocks from the late 1930s.
