Antoine Louis Breguet. Autograph manuscript, circa 1793.
Most interesting comments by the son of the eminent Abraham Louis Breguet about the necessity for the public clocks to indicate the mean-time instead of the solar time as it was the habit until the Revolution. - In order to show the solar time, the public clocks had to be adjusted every clay according to the equation of time. Such adjustment should not be necessary for the mean time. - If the mean time was shown by the public clocks, the owners of watches and clocks, could be able to adjust their time keepers without having to consult the table of the equation of time.
