| Question : |
| What
is 'Clepsydras' ? |
Answer : |
| The Alexandrians
and the Chinese invented Clepsydras to replace the sundial,
which were kept going by a flow of water. |
| It can be also
termed as water clock. |
|
The simplest water clock design, known as an outflow water clock,
was basically a stone or earthenware container with a small hole
in the bottom and graduated markings on the inside. As water
dripped out, the water level
dropped, revealing successive hour markings. Inflow designs
used two containers: one to dispense the water and another,
into which the water dripped, to measure it. |
