Like before the Internet/tv/radio etc how the hell did people organise anything or do anything on time? How did they synchronise their clocks?
In: Technology
People would set their watches to whatever the largest and most visible clock in town was. (Church, Town Hall, Courthouse, etc.) It wasn’t until the railroads started becoming more prominent and widespread that the concept of a uniform “true” time became necessary, because people far away needed to know exactly where other trains were and when.
