Time signatures indicating two beats per bar (whether simple or compound) are called duple meter; those with three beats to the bar are triple meter.
The earliest examples of irregular signatures are found in instrumental music by Giovanni Valentini (1582-1649) and Anton Reicha (1770-1836), written in 5/4, 9/8, etc. Both composers remained virtually unknown for centuries, however, so irregular rhythms were quite uncommon in Western music until the late 19th century when they started becoming more popular.
In this case the time signatures are an aid to the performers, not an indication of meter.

 Time signature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In a musical score, the time signature appears at the beginning of the piece, immediately following the key signature (or immediately following the clef if the piece is in C major or A minor).
The letter C ("common time") - in actuality, a broken circle - may be used in place of the 4/4 time signature.
For all meters, the first beat (the "downbeat") is stressed; in time signatures with four groups in the bar (such as 4/4 and 12/8), the third beat is also stressed, though to a lesser degree.

 Time Signature Biography @ AlienArtifacts.com (Alien Artifacts)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The time signature (also known as "meter signature") is a notational device used in Western musical notation to specify how many beats are in each bar and which note value (minim (half-note), crotchet (quarter-note), quaver (eighth-note), and so on) constitutes one beat.
In text (as in this article), time signatures may be written in the manner of a fraction: the example shown at right can be written 3/4.
While time signatures usually express a regular pattern of beat stresses continuing through a piece (or at least a section), sometimes composers place a different time signature at the beginning of each bar, resulting in music with an extremely irregular rhythmic feel.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A time signature that is compound is one based on groups of three notes (most often quavers or eighth notes) whereas a simple time signature is one based on groups of two notes (most often crotchets or quarter notes).
Time signatures generally consist of two numbers; the upper number indicates the number of beats per measure (or "bar"), while the lower indicates what sort of note constitutes a "beat".
It was in the opening decades of the next century that music felt in a tactus (think of the modern time signature) of two semibreves-to-a-breve began to be as common as that with three semibreves-to-a-breve, as had prevailed prior to that time.
