Barleys
The small, diamond shaped projections left after engine turning. BARLOW, EDWARD, An English clergyman who is said to have invented the rack striking work for clocks. With this mechanism, which was invented in 1676, clocks could be made to repeat the hour at will, and this invention was quickly followed by the repeating watches of Quare. Both Barlow and Quare applied for patents on repeating watches and the English government finally decided in favor of the latter in 1687.
