I'd not seen that. The part about Jefferson becoming "preoccupied" with clocks starting with his service in Paris as Ambassador to France was of particular interest. Fascinating stuff. I think it points out again how this is not such a trivial hobby after all. Thanks for stopping by and contributing. Great link. Regards, Bryan Hi martback,
