4-INCH REFRACTING BRASS TELESCOPE, BY GRUBB, DUBLIN CIRCA 1860 with altazimuth mount and finder telescope, marked on draw tube GRUBB/ DUBLIN, mounted on a cast iron three-part cylindrical tapered pier, with brass trunions 136cm long approx. The Collection of the Late Allan Murray. Provenance: Vernonscope & Co., New York, 8 January 2000 Note: This 4-inch refracting brass telescope was produced by one of the United Kingdom's leading scientific instrument manufacturers. Founded in 1833, Dublin, by Thomas Grubb, the company gained significant reputation in the 1860s under the direction of Grubb's son, Howard. After a successful commission to produce the 48-inch refractor for the Melbourne Observatory in 1869, widely considered a masterpiece in scientific instrument making, the firm went on to assist in the construction of telescopes for India, Vienna, South Africa, Greenwich and Dublin. A common feature of Grubb telescopes is the unusually short focal length in relation to the aperture, which is understood to have improved the optical quality of their instruments. Following the company's success, Howard Grubb was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1887, and in 1912 was the third recipient of Royal Society of Dublin's Boyle Medal.

Many of Ramsden's telescopes and other inventions can be seen in observatories across Europe, including Paris, Greenwich and Palermo. A Fellow of the Royal Society and member of the Imperial Academy in St. Petersburg, Ramsden received huge recognition for his accurate and powerful scientific instruments throughout his lifetime. In 1795 he was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society.

Copernicus.- Digges (Leonard) A Prognostication everlastinge of righte good effecte...to judge the weather by the Sunne, Moone, Starres, Comets, Rainebow, Thunder, Cloudes..., first edition with the translation of Copernicus, collation: pi2, A-L4, M2, N-O4, P2, (lacking blank leaf G4 and the folding woodcut following leaf 42), partially printed in black letter, large woodcut illustration on title depicting the signs of the zodiac in relation to the human body (Luborsky-Morley Ingram, Type B.1), woodcut of ship at sea bearing the arms of the dedicatee (see Luborsky-Morley Ingram, Type 1, state 1) to title verso , numerous woodcut illustrations and diagrams illustrating measuring instruments, mariners' cards, the geocentric universe, constellation Orion etc., sig.L1 folded at edges, trimmed close, occasionally with loss of headlines/pagination, side-notes or signatures/catchwords and to edge of 2 woodcut diagrams, loss of most of the author's name at foot of dedication leaf, small stain to title and last couple of leaves, early 20th century full tan calf, gilt, by R. Wallis, small 4to (177 x 127mm.), Imprinted at London by Thomas Marsh, 1576.⁂ A book of legendary rarity: the 1576 enlarged edition of Leonard Digges' work, supplemented by his own son Thomas with the first translation into a vernacular language ever to appear of the groundbreaking cosmological section of Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. A milestone in the history of astronomy and history of scientific ideas in England.The Prognostication everlastinge was originally published by the mathematician Leonard Digges in 1555. The work belonged to the long tradition of popular almanacks, calendars, and ephemerides, and enjoyed a wide circulation, being often reprinted in subsequent years. In 1576 his son Thomas Digges, one of the most esteemed English mathematicians of the Elizabethian age, published a new edition of his father's work, adding an Appendix entitled A Perfit Description of the Caelestial Orbes according to the most aunciente doctrine of the Pythagoreans, latelye revived by Copernicus and by Geometricall Demostrations approved. The volume is introduced by Thomas Digges's new dedicatory letter to Sir Edward Fines, High Admiral of England, a feature which could explain the presence on the verso of the title-page of the woodcut showing a warship bearing Fines's arms, which only appeared in this 1576 edition.The Perfit Description of the Caelestial Orbes is a translation, or a paraphrase, into English of the three chapters from Book 1 of Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium, first published in 1543. Digges translates in particular chapters 7-8, in which Copernicus rejected Ptolemy's and Aristotle's arguments against the motion of Earth, and chapter 10, dealing with the order of the celestial spheres. Digges also adds to Copernicus's text some highly significant passages of his own, in which he affirms the infinity of the heliocentric universe, a question which was widely debated among contemporary theologians and philosophers.This edition is of the greatest rarity: only 3 copies are recorded in institutional libraries - BL, Huntington and Folger.Rothamsted acquisition date 1925. Literature: STC (2nd ed.) 435.47; Bosanquet clxxx; Brüning Kometenliteratur 317; F. R. Johnson - S. V. Larkey, "Thomas Digges, the Copernican System and the Idea of Infinity of the Universe in 1576", Huntington Library Bulletin 5 (1934), pp. 69-117; A.R.

A RARE A. LG & CO. PATENT 'TRACTION TORPEDO', LONDON, CIRCA 1886, of tapering form, constructed in brass panels with adjustable side planes and tail fins, split ballast keel and explosive plunger -- 60in. (152.5cm.) long; stand; data., Based in Hatton Garden, London, A L‚g‚ & Co. were a firm of scientific instrument makers who advertised a huge range of items, but who seem to be mainly associated with two or three unique instruments such a Lord Kelvin~s tide predictor of 1876 (on loan to the Science Museum, London, No. 1876-1129) and early cinema projectors. The idea behind the Traction Torpedo was that several would be hitched to a endless chain within the confines of a harbour or secure area. When not in use they would settle harmlessly on the sea bed, but when needed - at night, or in foggy weather when it was assumed an enemy might attack - the chain was started and the torpedoes rose, settled to a pre-determined depth and ~patrolled~ the harbour. The accompanying research refers to one other example made of ~Delta Metal~ which was supposed to be resistant to sea water. As this one appears to be brass it may be a working prototype used as a sales pitch to Governments. Their rarity suggests that this complicated and dangerous system was never deployed, perhaps unsurprisingly when the risk to the users~ own ships was vastly greater than that of their enemies.

A George III brass surveyor's sighting compass dial Cole, London, circa 1770-90 The 3 inch circular silvered dial with foliate engraved eight-point compass rose annotated N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW and signed Cole, Fecit within scroll cartouches flanking the fleur-de-lys North terminal, the outer margin scale annotated in tens 0-90 for each quadrant and further raised concentric scale calibrated 0-360 , the steel pointer with pin pivot set within glazed moulded bezel applied with a pair of hinged alidades incorporating opposing tension line and hairline slot viewing apertures, the outer edge with further degree scale calibrated 0-360 , the underside with socket and clamp screw for tripod mounting, 10cm (4ins) diameter; with a later base comprising post over moulded brass disc applied to circular wooden plinth, 17.5cm (7ins) diameter overall. Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire. No less than five scientific instrument makers with the surname Cole are recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working in London during the latter half of the 18th century. However Benjamin Cole (II), who is recorded as working from The Orrery (next the Globe Tavern) 1768-82 then 136 Fleet Street until 1785, is perhaps the most likely candidate as he is known to have produced surveying instruments including sighting compasses with folding alidades.

A Victorian brass Kew Pattern marine mercury stick barometer configured for use on land Adie and Wedderburn, Edinburgh, second half of the 19th century The cylindrical silvered scale calibrated in barometric inches divided to twentieths and with Vernier slide fitted flush within the tube viewing aperture, the vertical left hand margin signed ADIE & WEDDERBURN, EDINBURGH. the lower margin engraved No. 760, set behind cylindrical glass collar with Vernier adjustment screw and gimballed support over applied mercury tube Fahrenheit scale thermometer to the narrow trunk below, the base with moulded cylindrical iron cistern cover braced within further supporting ring to lower edge, 94cm (37ins) high; applied to original ogee moulded oak wall panel, 105cm (41.25ins) high overall. Provenance: Private collection Hampshire (ref. B27). Alexander Adie is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as born 1775 and dying in 1858. Adie was the nephew of John Miller, one of the leading Scottish makers of Scientific Instruments in the 18th century and was apprenticed to him in 1789. In 1804 they formed the partnership of Miller and Adie which continued until the death of John Miller in 1815. Adie continued the business alone specialising in meteorological instruments obtaining a patent in 1818 for his air barometer or sympiesometer. In recognition of this invention he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria after forming a partnership with his son, John, in 1835 to form Adie & Son. John's brother, Richard, moved to Liverpool where he set-up business in Bold Street in 1835. He employed Thomas Wedderburn as a foreman in Edinburgh through whom the current lot was probably supplied. The current lot is made to the pattern of standard marine barometer devised by Patric Adie and John Welsh of the Kew observatory in 1855. Although the instrument is mounted via gimbals the cistern steadying ring and very close proximity of the oak board behind indicates that it was supplied for use on land possibly for a laboratory or meteorological station.

An Edwardian 15ct gold cased aneroid pocket barometer with altimeter scale Ross, London, 1907 The 1.75 inch circular silvered register signed ROSS, LONDON, 892 and inscribed within concentric scale calibrated for barometric inches divided into twentieths and annotated with basic weather observations within rotating outer scale calibrated in feet from 0 to 8,000 and divided for 100 foot intervals, the pocket watch type case with suspension ring, machined bezel and engraved inscription ROB T EMMET. MORETON MORRELL, WARWICK, ENG. to circumference, marks for Chester 1907, diameter 5cm (2ins). Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. B57). Andrew Ross is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working from various addresses in London 1830-59: 5 Albemarle St., St. John s Square, Clerkenwell (1831-2); 15 St. John s Square, Clerkenwell (1832-9); 33 Regent Circus, Piccadilly (1839-43); 21 Featherstone Buildings, Clerkenwell (1843-7); 2 Featherstone Buildings Clerkenwell (1848-53) and 2-3 Featherstone Buildings, Holborn (1854-59). Ross was a founder member of the Microscopical Society of London; he died in 1859 and was succeeded by Thomas Ross. The firm continued as one of the principal manufacturers of optical and other instruments through various successors until 1982. The inscription relates to Robert Emmet who was a wealthy American-born banker of Irish heritage born in New York in 1872. By 1901 he was living with his wife Louise and three infant sons in Barford, Warwickshire before building a substantial and authentic recreation of an Elizabethan manor house called Moreton Paddox at Moreton Morrell, Warwickshire. A fascinating account of him and his family can be found online at The Great War in Villages Project.The images in the printed catalogue have been transposed but are correctly illustrated on our website and other online platforms.

A very rare mahogany cased aneroid barocyclonometer or 'Typhoon Barometer' Retailed by Lawrence and Mayo, Calcutta, after a design by Jose Algue, Manilla, early to mid 20th century The box opening to reveal Faura pattern aneroid barometer with 7 inch circular silvered register calibrated in both barometric inches and millibars and inscribed LAWRENCE & MAY, CALCUTTA, 596 over curved Fahrenheit and Centigrade scale mercury thermometer to centre, within adjustable outer scale annotated for the Northern hemisphere with latitudes 0-25 opposing 25-32 grouped with appropriate pressure readings for different seasons to the lower half, the upper half annotated with typhoon predictions, the whole set behind glazed bezel with silvered angled fillet insert and attached to the outer scale to allow adjustment by turning the bezel assembly , the lid of the box applied to the inside with the remains of a patinated brass and glass Cyclometer with fragmented original central translucent circular plate inscribed with direction arrows beneath two pointers, one engraved with scale 0-100 the other with pivoted direction indicator, the whole rotating within a ring annotated with the points of the compass, the exterior of the box with shaped brass nameplate engraved M.C.P. to top and visible dovetail joints to corners, (in original unrestored condition with distressed Cyclometer), 27cm (10.5ins approx.) wide. Very little is known about the origins of the firm Lawrence and Mayo other than the fact that they were originally London based and expanded to set-up branches throughout the British Empire during the second half of the 19th century. The Calcutta branch is thought to have opened in 1877 and is still trading today as an independent Indian enterprise specialising in the supply optical scientific and surveying instruments. The design of the current lot was the culmination of the efforts of two successive Jesuit Priest directors of the Manilla Observatory, Federico Faura and Jose Algue. The problem of predicting destructive typhoons, which took dozens of lives each year in the Phillipines, led to Faura's research and eventual publication of his paper Senales precursoras de un temporal in 1882. He then went onto develop the úura' pattern barometer which through use of a carefully devised scale could predict with a fair degree of accuracy the proximity of a typhoon. Jose Algue, who succeeded Faura in 1897, undertook further research to devise a method of forecasting the direction from which a typhoon would approach. This led to the development of his 'cyclonometer' or 'wind disc'. The incorporation of both instruments into one unit was termed a ºroclclonometer', examples of which were utilised throughout the Phillipines saving countless lives during the opening years of the 20th century. In 1912 Jose Algue was invited by the U.S. government to devise a version of his tried and tested barocylonometer for use in the Northern hemisphere in order to assist in the prediction of Hurricanes and Atlantic storms. In August 1912 he visited New York and Washington where it was agreed that a model calibrated for the Northern hemisphere would be made in Germany for trial onboard Connecticut flagship of Rear Admiral Osterhaus -commander of the Atlantic Squadron for U.S. Navy. By January 1913 Algue was in London where discussions regarding the production of further models in London took place. An account of his visit to New York was published in The New York Times August 18th 1912, and a review of the instrument was published in Popular Mechanics January 1913 issue. A related instrument by Schmidt and Zeigler of Remscheid (probably from the very early series of German made models as specified for the order for the U.S. Navy) was sold in these rooms on Wednesday 16th February 2011 (lot 26) for £1,300 hammer.
Lot 58
A mahogany cased two-day marine chronometer with Kullberg s early form of compensated balance Negretti and Zambra, London, late 19th century The circular four pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw type spring detent escapement and split bimetallic balance incorporating Kullberg s early form of middle-error temperature compensation with cylindrical weights and helical invar or palladium balance spring, the spotted backplate with spring set-up ratchet, faceted diamond endstone and blued steel movement pillar and backcock securing screws, the 4 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial, signature NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, London, No. 3455 and WIND DOWN/UP dial to centre, with gold spade hands and secured by a screw-down bezel into a lacquered brass bowl with shuttered winding hole to underside and indistinctly stamped with a serial number 285? to interior, mounted via gimbals into a brass-bound mahogany three-tier box, the top with vacant brass shield-shaped name plate and capped corners over front with later vacant ivorine name plate, brass strap reinforced angles and the sides with recessed lacquered brass carrying handles to sides, the laft hand side also with electrical timing connections, 18cm (7ins) wide. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century. The design of the middle-error temperature compensation to the balance of the present timepiece was developed Victor Kullberg (see Gould, Rupert T. THE MARINE CHRONOMETER, Its History and Development figure 68, opposite page 180). Victor Kullberg is recorded in Mercer, Tony Chronometer Makers of the World as born in Sweden 1824, he was apparently drawn to London by the Great Exhibition of 1851 and subsequently set up business at 105 Liverpool N1 (by 1870). Kullberg developed several balances with middle error temperature compensation and became one of the finest makers of marine chronometers of the period; he died in 1890 leaving the business to be continued by George and Peter Wannerstrom. The current lot is also fitted with electrical connection posts to the box; in addition to this the movement 4th wheel also incorporates an auxiliary ratchet wheel which would have previously engaged with a detent to open and close electrical contacts (now removed). This would suggest that at some point in its life the current lot was used for electrical timing, perhaps in a laboratory.
