Lee and Son, Portsea, late 19th century, with fixed shallow-angled glass prism set next to a section of concave lens whose relative position can be adjusted via a rack and pinion until the split image viewed through the telescope attachment lines-up, the upper surface of the slide applied with radial cream celluloid scale of alternating dotted and dashed lines annotated TENTHS OF MILES to upper margin, overlaid with a slider attached to the frame of the instrument moving against scale annotated in feet 0-100-200 and with locking screw. Stamped G. LEE & SON., THE HARD, PORTSEA. to lower left, the right-hand brass side panel inscribed STUART'S, DISTANCE METER, (PATENT) and No. 125, the rear with delineated table with columns titled SHIP, MAST H'D TO W L, MAST H'D TO LOWER TOP and UPPER SPEED TO STERN L'T, in original mahogany box with black japanned sighting telescope and instruction sheet (torn), (2).The barometer 14.5cm (5.75ins) high to top of crown, 7cm (2.75ins) approx. deep; the distance meter box 4.5cm (1.75ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. J. Casartelli and Son are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as opticians and mathematical instrument makers working from 43 Market Street, Manchester, from 1896-1925. George Lee and Son are recorded by Banfield as working from Ordnance Row, The Hard Portsea and 3 Palmerston Road, Southsea circa 1880-1900. Stuart's Patent distance meter is a form of optical rangefinder which requires the height of the object viewed (ship) to be known. By setting the height (in feet) on the central slider and then lining-up the split image viewed through the telescope, after adjustment of the rack and pinion assembly, the distance of the object from the viewer can then be read-off the radial 'Tenths of Miles' scale.  Condition Report: IVORY LICENCE 6W1NDVJ7Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III BRASS 3 INCH GREGORIAN REFLECTING TELESCOPEJOSHUA SPRINGER, BRISTOL, LATE 18th CENTURYThe 19 inch body tube with external screw focus adjustment for the secondary mirror and signed J. Springer, Bristol to the eyepiece end plate, mounted via an universal knuckle joint onto a column-turned upright, over an ogee moulded disc issuing three hinged cabriole supports incorporating decorated knees and terminating with pad feet.39.5cm (15.5ins) high standing with the tube horizontal, 56.5cm (22.25ins) long including eyepiece tube. Joshua Springer is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1850 as a mathematical, optical and philosophical instrument maker first working from 'Hadley's Quadrant' in St. Stephen's Lane, Bristol 1759-1809 and 2 Clare Street 1775-1809 before moving (possibly retiring) to 'Kings Down'. The Gregorian telescope is named after the Scottish mathematician and astronomer, James Gregory (1638-75), who first published his design for a reflecting telescope in his 1663 work Optica Promota. Technical limitations with regards to the productions of the mirrors required meant that Gregory was not able to construct his design until the mid 1670's in collaboration with Robert Hooke.
