Hi David,

You probably know this but there's got to be some very good historical
stuff at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England. They have
Harrison's H-1 Chronometer among other things. Also, check with the
Science Museum in South Kensington, London. They've also got some
terrific stuff on time and time keeping.

Subject: Exhibits on Time and Navigation

ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology
Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related
institutions.

The National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of American 
History are collaborating on an exhibition on the history and continued 
importance of time in navigation. The basic message: if you want to know

precisely where you are, you need an accurate clock. The exhibition will
cover 
the history of timekeeping and its relationship to navigation on the sea
and the 
land and in the air and in space, from the invention of the chronometer
to 
atomic clocks and GPS.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any particularly well done
exhibitions on 
this subject that are currently on view.
