But even in ancient times people felt the need of a device to signal the beginning or end of a period of time, and a prominent mentor of the day developed the first alarm clock. It consisted of an intricate and ornate dragon-type figure with the back hollowed out. A thin stick was inserted at one end, and the other end was lighted. A string with a metal ball on each end was placed over the stick and hung down the sides of the dragon. The position of the string upon the stick Was determined by the length of time one Wanted to elapse before being signalled. When the string burned through, the metal balls dropped onto the metal plate and caused the alarm. 29
