word "clock" derives from the french "cloche" which simply means bell. If
you have a dial but no bell so you have to look at it to tell the time then you
have a "watch". The horologists tend to call such a thing a
"timepiece".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>from what i have seen clocks in medieval times where not clocks as we
<BR>know them today. they did not have hands and faces just a means of
<BR>ringing the bell or bells.<BR>if you go to salisbury cathedral website
there is a good picture of a <BR>clock mechanism. <BR>Robert<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
