CLOCK

Definitions

1. 1. A machine for measuring time, indicating the hour and other divisions by means of hands moving on a dial plate. Its works are moved by a weight or a spring, and it is often so constructed as to tell the hour by the stroke of a hammer on a bell. It is not adapted, like the watch, to be carried on the person.
2. 2. A watcg, esp. one that strikes. [Obs.] Walton.
3. 3. The striking of a clock. [Obs.] Dryden.
4. 4. A figure or figured work on the ankle or side of a stocking. Swift.
