Their study is of crucial importance to the new historiography of observatories. On the one hand, pendulums were fundamental tools for astronomical observation, as measuring time was essential to record the transit of stars and organize astrographic charts. On the other hand, astronomical observation was the method employed for time determination before the introduction of atomic clocks in the mid-20th century. Chapters of this book cohere around 5 sections: starting from the 18th century, and going through the 19th and 20th, the relations between observatories and chronometry (and more generally between practices and materiality) are analyzed from the standpoint of the quest for precision, the certification of timepieces, the acquisition and use of specific apparatus, as well as the circulation of knowledge and of instruments on a global scale. 410 0$aHistory of Physics,$x2730-7557 606 $aAstronomy$xObservations 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aMeasuring instruments 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation 615 0$aAstronomy$xObservations. 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aMeasuring instruments. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a520 702 $aBernasconi$b Gianenrico$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChinnici$b Ileana$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStorni$b Marco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911040911203321 996 $aAstronomical Observatories and Chronometry, 18th-20th Century$94456094 997 $aUNINA
