"Societe Suisse de Chronometrie: Recent Progress in the Determination of Time" by Humphrey M. Smith - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1950 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in English.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"During recent years there has been an insistent and increasing demand for higher precision in the determination of time and in the distribution of radio time signals. This has arisen partly from the general striving of scientific workers towards even higher degrees of accuracy, and also from the comparatively recent rapid developments of quartz controlled standards of frequency."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]

The article is 7 pages in length (on 4 sheets of paper) and includes some small black and white images and diagrams within the text.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
