Controlled time: history of time clock
 Hlavačka, Milan
The measurement of time and its practical applications within transport, school and factory structures are civilizational phenomena of primery importance. When we examine the origins of time control we come up against two different worlds: the traditional world of clocks, clockmakers and clock patents on the one hand and the modern world of bureaucracies and factories on the other hand, i. e. the organisation of work in closed space outside of home. Hence this entails an entirely new associations of time and space with social consequences, so the history of time clocks not only involves the history of technocracy, but also civilizational and social history, as well as the history of the elimitation of defects in civilisation, by which is primarily meant the elimination od unpunctuality in the working proces. Time clock came to be seen as the primary disciplinary device in any transatlantic company.
