No one knows who invented mechanical clocks. However, the clock 85 can be traced back to the
Middle Ages in Europe. The earliest clocks were actually made by blacksmiths, the main principles in the design of these clocks, 86, are still use in mechanical clocks today, though modern clocks are much more accurate.
Early clocks had no dial, and 87 the time simply by striking a bell. The word clock, in fact,
means bell. Before the invention of clocks, a man 88 as a clock-jack used to ring a large bell in a castle or monastery to tell everyone the time. This man was able to 89 the time by means of a sundial or a hour glass containing sand.
