al Museum of Computing a look-see as well (it's just a short walk). I believe both facilities have benefited from recent infusions of money and support, which is great. Cheers, Peter

Maybe it is to do with the grid origin not being on the meridian? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch http://dotat.at/ - I xn--zr8h punycode Plymouth, Biscay: Variable 3 or 4, becoming north or northwest 5 at times.

so some of the clock exhibits in London. There's a beautiful pendulum master and slave clock set up in the British Museum, and there's an original huge Caesium (British spelling!) frequency standard in the Kensington Science Museum. The last time I was there in 2013 there was also a special feature exhibition about Alan Turing and the Bletchley code breakers. I did pass through Bletchley station on the train about 20 years ago when I was in the UK but regrettably didn't have the time to stop there. I can recommend the climb up the hill at Greenwich to anyone - it's definitely worth the effort. They didn't allow photography of the Harrison clocks but I did manage to sneak one or two before the minder got to me :-) I'd love to have a genuine electro-optical speaking clock. There's one in the Australian Telecom museum not far from where I live. There's also a terrific display of a complete electromechanical telephone exchange including a speaking clock in the telecommunications museum in Stockholm but as I don't speak Swedish I couldn't understand what it was saying. I've just finished making a speaking clock using more modern technology, it uses a 30 year old speech synthesizer chip and sounds just like Stephen Hawking. Morris Melbourne, Australia
