Jessica Cox: Pilot, Believer, Motivator and Speaker

When I was younger, well, so much younger than today, say 30 years younger ;-) I do have an ambition to one day fly a plane on my own ;-) With all the other factors that took effect on my life, let’s just say sh*t happens to people!

A major advance occurred in Europe around 1300 with the invention of the escapement, which allowed construction of the first mechanical clocks, which used oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels.
