registering the time by the shadow position of its gnomon. Because the sun does not
adjust to daylight saving time, users must add an hour during that time.
Corrections must also be made for the equation of time, and for the difference
between the longitudes of the sundial and of the central meridian of the time zone
that is being used (i.e. 15 degrees east of the prime meridian for each hour that
the time zone is ahead of GMT). Sundials use some or part of the 24 hour analog
dial. There also exist clocks which use a digital display despite having an analog
mechanism—these are commonly referred to as flip clocks. Alternative systems have
been proposed. For example, the "Twelv" clock indicates the current hour using

units by measuring the electromagnetic force between electrical conductors carrying
electric current. The earlier CGS system had two different definitions of current,
one essentially the same as t
