Instances are the use of invar in the design of physical instruments, and especially in geodesy where Guillaume's discovery has completely transformed the methods of measuring base lines; nickel steel has also supplanted platinum in the manufacture of incandescent lamps and on the basis of the current price of platinum this represents an annual saving of twenty million francs; lastly chronometry is indebted to Guillaume's discoveries and investigations for a new refinement - the use of the new alloys enables watches to be adjusted more accurately and at less cost than formerly.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobel Prize in Physics 1920 - Presentation Speech] Reference

The application of botanical and zoological evidence to determine the relative age of rocks -- this chronometry of the earth's surface, which was already present to the lofty mind of Hooke -- indicates one of the most glorious epochs of modern geognosy, which has finally, on the Continent at least, been emancipated from the sway of Semitic doctrines.    From Wordnik.com.  [COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1] Reference
