A second is the time that a pendulum (pendel in Swedish) in the largest typical clocks needs to move from side to side.
“Suuren pituutenſa wuokſi heliui lerk- ku hywin witkasti ja kuulan painon wuokſi keſtiwät heilumiſet koko päiwän”
Due to its length, the pendulum swung very slowly, and due to the weight of the ball, the swinging lasted a whole day
“— Kuuluu Kuivalankin kello tänä aamuna seisahtaneen. — Horitseko sinä? — En. Näin sen itse, ettei lerkku liikkunut.”
"They say Kuivala's clock stopped too this morning." "You're joking?" "No. I saw it myself, that the pendulum wasn't moving."
