This Clock Made Power Grids Possible

Cars That Think

As more power stations adopted the clocks, the frequency regulation allowed them to share electricity and create an interconnected power grid. In Warren’s own telling of the story , his first attempt at an electric chronometer was a crude motor that connected the gears of a clock to the Boston Edison electrical system.
