A wall clock showing the time at 10:09. A clock face is the part of an analog clock (or watch) that displays time through the use of a flat dial with reference marks, and revolving pointers turning on concentric shafts at the center, called hands.
Additionally, orange circles (dash-dot line) are when hands are in opposition, and pink triangles (dashed line) are when they are perpendicular. In the SVG file, hover over the graph to show positions of the hands on a clock face. The hour and minute hands are superimposed only when their angle is the same.
A clock position, or clock bearing, is the direction of an object observed from a vehicle, typically a vessel or an aircraft, relative to the orientation of the vehicle to the observer. The vehicle must be considered to have a front, a back, a left side and a right side.
Clocks with hands were first built in the Northern Hemisphere (see Clock), and they were made to work like horizontal sundials. In order for such a sundial to work north of the equator during spring and summer, and north of the Tropic of Cancer the whole year, the noon-mark of the dial must be placed northward of the pole casting the shadow.
The clock's gun metal hour hands and copper minute hands are 8.75 feet (2.7 m) and 14 feet (4.3 m) long respectively. [39] When completed, the dials and clock hands were Prussian blue, but were painted black in the 1930s to disguise the effects of air pollution. The original colour scheme was reinstated during the 2017–2021 conservation work.
Animation of an anchor escapement, widely used in pendulum clocks. An escapement is a mechanical linkage in mechanical watches and clocks that gives impulses to the timekeeping element and periodically releases the gear train to move forward, advancing the clock's hands.
A station clock is a clock at a railway station that provides a standard indication of time to both passengers and railway staff. A railway station will often have several station clocks. They can be found in a clock tower , in the booking hall or office, on the concourse , inside a train shed , on or facing the station platforms , or elsewhere.
