    Yes. I first learned of him and bought an account of his chronometers from the Greenwich Maritime Museum in 1973.

    In 2000, there was a good TV mini-series "Longitude" starring Michael Gambon as Harrison.

    Wonder if Michael Gambon taught this to the aspiring wizards at Hogwarths?

    I was a little confused at first, but think I have it worked out.

    Back to the OP, bimetallic strips are also used in circuit breakers.

    I remember many years ago picking "spuds". I was with a group of people in a field. There was a fellow in a Davy Brown tractor with a spinner on the back agitating the soil to get the spuds up. As the day went on he went faster. He got his moneys worth out of us that day! Got a break to eat sandwiches.
    I also picked spuds for an old local farmer. That was a much more relaxed experience altogether. Even got fed...all the spuds one could eat!
    I would not have minded having them two lassies with me in a group picking spuds....especially if they were in front of me.
