The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The pendulum is an approximate harmonic oscillator that swings in a time interval that depends on its length, and that resists swinging at other rates.
- From its invention in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens, inspired by Galileo Galilei, until the 1930s, the pendulum clock was the world's most precise type of timekeeper.
- Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, pendulum clocks in homes, factories, offices, and railroad stations served as primary time standards for scheduling daily life activities, work shifts, and public transportation.
