Read the passage. what does the author use to
engage the reader?
why does the whole world measure its time and define its
position in relation to the greenwich meridian, a line
passing through a spot on the banks of the thames in
south-east london? the story begins with the invention
in london of a sea-going clock that allowed sailors to find
their longitude. the object pictured here is one of those
clocks - a marine chronometer made around 1800 -
which could keep perfect time even in rolling seas.
