With the spread of wireless communication and radio time signals, and the improvement in the precision of clocks, especially astronomical clocks, standard clocks came to play a role as a prototype, similar to the standards for length and weight, as a source of time signals and standard radio waves. *Some terminology explanations that mention "regulator" are listed below.
