	Pendulum clock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In 1721, George Graham improved the pendulum clock's accuracy to 1 second per day by compensating for changes in the pendulum's length due to temperature variations.
		By 1761, he had built a marine chronometer with a spring and balance wheel escapement that won the British government's 1714 prize (worth more than $10,000,000 in today's currency) for a means of determining longitude to within one-half degree after a voyage to the West Indies.
		The dead beat escapement, attributed to George Graham, was an improvement over the anchor escapement, as the scape wheel was not moved backward (it remained still, or "dead") during the swing of the pendulum.

	Equation Of Time Clock By George Graham
		Since Graham was known for his elaborate pendulums devices which effectively assured superior timekeeping, and since the present pendulum to this clock is old but repaired, we must consider the possibility that the pendulum is not original.
		Graham is attributed with numerous mechanical innovations in horology, but many of his better-known ones include those aimed at clocks and precision time keeping.
		We think collectors and investors mostly appreciate Graham's clocks for their mechanical superiority and innovativeness, although cases to his standing clocks are distinctive, having unmatched simplistic beauty as well.

	Anchor Clock Escapement
		In 1715, George Graham (1673-1751) of London is said to have modified the anchor escapement to eliminate recoil, creating the deadbeat escapement, also called the Graham escapement.
		Graham modified the arm of each steel pallet so that the lower portion of each limb was based on the arc of a circle with its center at the axis of rotation of the pallets (see Fig.
		In the Graham escapement, the teeth lean forward, in the direction of rotation of the escape wheel, to take advantage of the curved locking faces of the pallets and thus achieve no recoil.

	Legend of the Month - Ebel - SKW Shop
		Daring in design and yet elegant in appearance, Graham timepieces are distinct in capturing the spirit of exploration and discovery that was ignited by it's namesake over 300 years ago.
		He was known as "honest Graham" and refused to patent any of his inventions, as he believed that it was only through collaborative scientific development that horology could be furthered for the benefit of all.
		If the Royal Family still wears Graham timekeepers today, it is because the make remains faithful to the tradition of the British watchmakers of the 18th century who presented their creations to the King before marketing them.

	Important equation of time clock by George Graham
		Graham’s answer to this was to create a cammed device that rotates once every year.
		The solar hand runs on the cam, causing it to accelerate for six months and the decelerate the other six months of the year, all the time being tracked by the elaborate and finely engraved year calendar disk seen in the broke arch area of the clock dial.
		"Honest" George Graham was born on a farm in Cumberland, England as early as "mid 17th Century" or 1674.

	Some Longtown Families
		George Graham was born about 1675 in Kirklinton, though not much is known about his origins.
		In his "Worthies of Cumberland" published in 1875, Henry Lonsdale gives Graham's probable birthdate as 1673, the son of George Graham of Rigg, recorded in the Quaker register, although other sources say he was born at Horsegills in Kirklinton.
		John Blaylock (1) was apprenticed to the clockmaker Archibald Lawrie of Carlisle in 1754 for a premium of £10 and on completion of his apprenticeship it is thought he continued in the employment of the Lawrie family until 1767.

		GRAHAM, GEORGE [Graham, George] 1674?-1751, English instrument maker.
		A clockmaker by trade, Graham designed clocks and watches that earned him membership in the Royal Society and were still manufactured into the present century.
		In 1725 he built a very accurate 8-ft (2.4-m) quadrant for the royal astronomer, Edmund Halley, at Greenwich; it was widely copied.

		Now,I know this George Graham was born in Kirklinton parish, Horsegill to be exact, in 1675.
		She had been to Pitlochry and mentions Killiecrankie glen "..where our ancestor Graham of Claverhouse was killed." She goes on to say this branch of the Grahams settled in Border Country and lost their estates when they rose for Prince Charlie.

		At first a cottage industry, with families manufacturing watch parts at home, to be assembled and sold by a master watchmaker, Swiss watchmaking by the 1850s had led to the development of a number of small factories and the foundation of a major industry.
		European clockmakers and watchmakers took their skills to colonial America and originated much of the mechanical ingenuity that has distinguished American industry.
		In 1650, before the introduction of the pendulum clock, a clock could be found in a Boston church tower.

	Timekeeping History
		In 1670 English clockmaker William Clement made use of a pendulum about a yard long that took a full second to move back and forth, allowing greater accuracy than ever before.
		He encased the pendulum and weights in wood in order to diminish the effect of air currents, thus was born the "grandfather's clock." For the first time, it made sense to add a minute hand to the dial, since it was now possible to measure time to the nearest second.
		In 1721George Graham improved the pendulum clock’s accuracy to within a second a day by compensating for changes in the pendulum's length caused by temperature variations.

		This watch was made for George III and had two unique features: it was able to compensate for changes in temperature, but, more importantly, it contained Mudge’s invention of the lever escapement.
		Mudge believed that he would never be able to construct another watch as perfect as this one, due to the difficulty of constructing the lever escapement, but the advantages derived from this new escapement were so overwhelming that the lever escapement became the standard construct for most watches by the turn of the century.
		This watch was also influential in George III’s decision to appoint Mudge as the royal Clockmaker in 1776.

		The Clockmakers' Company was chartered in 1631 and was a trade guild for protecting the trade in London, or within ten miles thereof.
		Edward East, one the most noted of English makers, was at work by 1620, and became watchmaker to Charles I. Henry Jones was at the height of his fame about 1673, and Samuel Betts about 1640.

		The anchor escapement of Robert Hooke and William Clement (c.1675) had a recoil due to the impact of the anchor pallets with the teeth in the escape wheel.
