Terms for Timepieces
Terms for Timepieces
Our modern society usually doesn't pay much thought to timepieces. Clocks are on our wrists, and in most rooms of our homes and offices. Clocks are very much a part of living, and without them, life would be chaotic. Yes, these handy inventions contain mechanisms and parts that keep clocks ticking. To understand these parts, you need to understand some basic clock terminology.

Parts of a Digital Clock
Digital clocks are generally powered by an electric current. They show the time using digital number displays instead of the face and hands of an analog clock. Clocks with liquid crystal display - or LCD - have layers of liquid crystals between transparent sheeting materials. Electricity flows through the crystals, causing them to display the digits that tell the time of day. One very common type of digital clock is the digital alarm clock found on the bedside table in many modern bedrooms.
Timekeeping is truly a science worth admiring. Even clocks that seem common have parts and inner workings that might surprise and amaze you.
