Concrete and atomic clock: what they have in common

  1. Step 1. Concrete — is material for — Tuned mass damper. Or concrete.
  2. Step 2. Tuned mass damper — uses — Pendulum. A pendulum.
  3. Step 3. Pendulum — is part of — Pendulum clock. The pendulum sets the period.
  4. Step 4. Pendulum clock — evolved into — Quartz clock. Quartz replaced the pendulum as the frequency standard.
  5. Step 5. Quartz clock — evolved into — Atomic clock. The quartz oscillator is tuned to an atomic standard.
