rdfs:comment	ويب س. بال (بالإنجليزية: Webb C. Ball)‏ هو صائغ ‏ وساعاتي أمريكي، ولد في 6 أكتوبر 1847، وتوفي في 6 مارس 1922. (ar) ウェブスター・クレイ・ボール (1847年10月6日 – 1922年3月6日)は、オハイオ州フレデリックタウン生まれの宝石商であり、ボール・ウォッチの創業者である。 1883年に標準時が導入され、ワシントンの海軍天文台によって時報が行われるようになると、ボールはこの時報を利用して時刻を合わせ、クリーブランドに正確な時間を導入した最初の宝石商となった。また、ボールによって構築された公式鉄道時計の基準は、多岐にわたって非常に厳格に定められていた。時計としての精度、鉄道員の労働環境にも耐えうる耐衝撃性能、5姿勢での精度調整、瞬時の視認性を確保するためにアラビア数字を用いることなどである。また、全ての時計に対して年2回の定期検査を実施した。この検査システムは、やがて全米の75パーセント、12万5000マイル以上、さらにはカナダ、メキシコに及ぶ広範囲で適用となった。1921年10月21日、アメリカ時計協会はこの功績を称えた。 (ja) Webster Clay Ball (October 6, 1848 – March 6, 1922) was a jeweler and watchmaker born in Fredericktown, Ohio who founded the Ball Watch Company.

Oktober 1847 in , Ohio; † 1922, kurz: Webb C. Ball) war ein US-amerikanischer Juwelier und Uhrmacher. Nach einer zweijährigen Lehrzeit bei einem Juwelier ließ sich Ball in Cleveland als Teilhaber eines Juweliergeschäftes nieder. Als die amerikanische Standard time 1883 angenommen wurde, war er der erste Juwelier, der das Zeitsignal des United States Naval Observatory verwendete, um Cleveland mit einer präzisen Zeit zu versorgen.(Hauptartikel: Eisenbahnunfall von Kipton) Ball starb 1922. (de) Webb C. Ball est né à Fredericktown (Ohio), le 6 octobre 1847 et mort le 6 mars 1922, et devint horloger / bijoutier. Quand le Standard de temps fut adopté en 1883, il fut le premier à utiliser les signaux horaires, ainsi introduisant une mesure de temps exacte à Cleveland (Ohio). Il établit des règles strictes pour la manufacture de gardes-temps précis et fiable, qui sont toujours à la base de critères actuels des chronomètres officiellement certifiés: résistance au magnétisme, précision dans 5 positions, isochronisme, réserve de marche.
