A RARE ONE MINUTE TORPEDO TIMER BY CHARLES FRODSHAM, CIRCA 1944, with 11in. black painted sealed dial divided every ten seconds between 1-10, signed Chas. Frodsham / 27 South Molton St. / London / W.2563, electric contacts, stowage for reset and winding knobs, contained within a substantial oak case with inset carry handles, lid restraints, twin locks and securing catch. Overall measurements -- 6¾ x 16¾ x 16¾in. (17 x 42.5 x 42.5cm.); battery operated switch and wires, (2), Whilst this is spring powered, the electric stop/start and large scale of dial allows for greater accuracy than might be achieved with a stop watch, surprisingly little is known about their commission or precise purpose. How they were activated or arrested in timing a torpedo flight for instance, and why a large (and very expensive) instrument weighing in at 18 kilos would be needed has yet to be answered. Another, No. 2551, is known to have been used/trialled by the Royal Australian Navy; three others are now in the Frodsham Museum, London and a further one is understood to be in a private collection, making a total of six known examples to date. The serial numbers, if consecutive, suggest there may have been at least fourteen produced but no more are known of at this time.

A RARE ‘KEEN’S PATENT’ MARINE COMPASS BY JOSEPH HUGHES, LONDON, CIRCA 1860, the 8in. diameter painted mica card signed J. HUGHES / QUEEN St. RATCLIFF, LONDO[N], supported on sprung inverted cap with miniature counter-weighted gimballed pivot and hinged double-bar dip-needles set within card, the lacquered-brass assembly secured to glazed base within decorative blued and gilt porcelain compass bowl with internal transfer print Royal Arms at ‘south’ inscribed over KEEN’S PATENT. vertices at ‘north’, lacquered-brass gimbal arms and removable domed glass top -- 6¾ x 10¼in. (17 x 26cm.) John Robert Keen (w.1834-1857) registered patent 1670 on July 29th 1854 stating My invention is intended to counteract the effect of the pitching and rolling of vessels, and the vibratory action in steam vessels.. By using a combination of metal and rubber springs, and having twin stabilising dip needles to show north, and containing the whole in a thick porcelain bowl, it was hoped the card could be protected from the worst excesses of steam propulsion in ships now increasingly made of metal. The glazed base and use of painted mica for the card allows this example to be back lit. It seems to have been a modest success, but was soon superseded and made obsolete. This rare survivor is the only one found in the patent specified “non metallic” bowl, a similar example in the Greenwich collection (ACO 0026) is in a traditional brass bowl. Keen went on to form an important partnership with Charles Frodsham. Joseph Hughes worked from Ratcliff Cross between 1843 and 1875.

Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. John Roger Arnold was born in 1769, the son of the famous watch and chronometer maker John Arnold. He initially trained under his father and then Abraham Louis Breguet before, in 1787, going into partnership with his father. The firm of Arnold and Son subsequently became principal suppliers of early marine chronometers to the Royal Navy and lasted until the death of John Arnold senior in 1799. John Roger Arnold continued the business, in 1817 he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company and in 1821 he was credited with the invention of the 'U' shaped compensated chronometer balance. In 1830 Arnold took Edward John Dent into partnership (after the unfortunate demise of his adopted son and likely successor); the partnership lasted ten years before being dissolved leaving Arnold to work alone until his death in 1843. The current lot can be directly compared to another example by Arnold and Dent (numbered 303) illustrated and discussed in Staeger, Hans 100 Years of Precision Timekeepers from John Arnold to Arnold & Frodsham, 1763-1862 , Pages 685-8. Staeger suggests that number 303 is possibly the earliest surviving carriage clock by Arnold and Dent, however it is probably appropriate to suggest that the current lot, being unnumbered, could be earlier. The distinctive sunken 'well top' design of the case is a form favoured by Dent which can also be seen on smaller models; a related case (containing Dent number 1302) is illustrated in Allix Charles and Bonnert, Peter Carriage Clocks, Their history and development on page 256, plate IX/22. The original mahogany outer travelling box is particularly noteworthy being a rare survivor in relatively good original condition.
