Antoine Louis Breguet. Autograph manuscript, circa 1793.

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