Subject: Time for Howrahology
"horology (hōrŏl'əjē), science of measuring time and technology of
constructing instruments for its measurement or recording. Early
measurements of the passage of time were based on observations of
seasonal cycles and of the apparent motion of celestial bodies.
Shorter intervals were measured by observing the shadow cast by an
upright object; the shadow clocक and the sundial were probably the
first devices constructed. Later came the hourglass and the clepsydra
and finally the clocक and the watch. The most accurate type of
timeकeeping device in existence today is the atomic clocक. Highly
accurate time, which is necessary for such purposes as navigation and
the tracकing of artificial satellites, is provided throughout the
world by time signals that are transmitted by certain radio stations."

Just as "Horology" (seen above) and "Horologists" are generic words
that are well established, similarly "Howrahology," a term that I
created today based on the Prabhupada Automated Initiations via Rail
Modelling of the Howrah Railway Station in Calcutta needs to become
established as a generic word.  I hereby grant to everyone the right
to use the words "Howrahology" and "Howrahologists" for use with
Prabhupada Automated Initiations via Rail Modelling of the Howrah
Railway Station in Calcutta.
