A Regency mahogany sympiesometer, Adie, Edinburgh, circa 1825, With glazed rectangular silvered scale applied with sulphuric acid and hydrogen gas filled syphon tube against a Fahrenheit temperature scale with a separate scale calibrated for the barometric inches adjusted via brass knob slider to the right-hand side of the case, to the left is a Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer above inscription PATENT, Adie, Edinburgh with sector for the rotating recording disc with serial number No. 1286 beneath, the simple rectangular case with reeded moulded surround, 60cm high. 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. The sympiesometer was patented by Alexander Adie in 1818 and is essentially an improved version of Robert Hooke`s thermobarometer which he described in a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1668. The hydrogen gas in the syphon tube is affected by both temperature and pressure so the instrument has to be first calibrated by adjusting the moveable barometric scale against the temperature calibrations so that the pointer lines up with the temperature reading on the mercury thermometer to the left of the syphon tube before a reading can be taken from the top of the fluid level. The sympiesometer was conceived as an alternative to the mercury marine barometer as it was smaller thus more portable.

*An unusual George III mahogany and burr elm domestic striking regulator of one week duration with centre seconds. Alexander Cumming, Inveraray, late 18th century. The substantial five pillar rack striking movement with deadbeat escapement, bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and six wheel going train, the backplate with aperture cut for the pallets and with wood-rod pendulum with heavy brass faced lenticular bob, the 12 inch square single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with blued steel hands and signed Ale:r Cumming INVERARAY to an arched cartouche to centre within chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and fine scallop shell inhabited foliate scroll engraved decoration to spandrels, in a case with moulded cornice and turned columns to hood above burr elm veneered panel inset break-arch door to trunk, on plinth base veneered with conforming rectangular panel, on bracket feet, 207cm (81.5ins) high. Alexander Cumming was born circa 1732 and was working with his brother, John, in Inveraray by 1752. He was a founder member of the Scottish Royal Society in Edinburgh and by 1761 he had moved to London. Cumming was subsequently appointed as an `expert` by Act of Parliament to assess Harrison`s marine timekeepers, and in 1763 supplied the first ever recording barometer to George III which is still in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace. In 1766 he published The Elements of Clock and Watch Work, he died in 1814. The current lot is an interesting early example of Cumming`s work and is perhaps a little experimental in nature. The six-wheel going train is unusual and was perhaps designed to remove errors in relation to its interaction with the strike train by delivering a high degree of power through the motionwork.

A William III brass lantern clock with ten inch square brass dial, Daniel Quare, London, circa 1695. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with column turned corner uprights and now with anchor escapement, the 10 inch square brass dial with matted centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Dan Quare, London to lower edge, with original steel hand and angles applied with winged cherub head and scroll cast spandrels, the frame with foliate pierced side frets and vase turned finials beneath domed bell bearer above, with rear hanging hoop and spurs to the turned ball feet, (lacking one side door and alarm) 40cm (16.75ins) high. Daniel Quare was admitted as Brother of the Clockmakers` Company in April 1671 and by 1683 he was working from Exchange Alley, London. He was selected as a member of the Court of Asssistants in 1698, later becoming Master in 1708. The following year he took a former apprentice, Stephen Horseman, into partnership which presumably lasted until Quare`s death in 1724. He was a fine inventive and commercially-minded maker who supplied clocks to significant European Royal and Aristocratic clients as well the Court of William III. As a Quaker, Quare refused an invitation from George I to be appointed `Royal Clockmaker` as his beliefs would not allow him to undertake the Oath of Allegiance, however an informal arrangement was agreed where Quare had open access to the palace via the back stairs. In addition to clocks, Quare is also famous for his `portable weather glass` or pillar barometer for which he sought a patent via the Clockmakers` Company in 1695. After his death in 1724 he was buried at the Quaker`s burial ground at Bunhill Fields.
