A Rare Richard Cushee 'Mr Neale's Patent' 12-inch celestial globe, English, circa 1730,signed A New Celestial GLOBE By R Cushee 1730, the brass frame mounted with geared lunar apparatus devised and made by John Neale, brass meridian engraved with four quadrant degree scales, horizontal ring engraved with calendar and points of the compass, with operating wheel and gearing at the base, raised on turned brass column and domes base, together with a framed plate illustrating the celestial and terrestrial globe from a plate in The New Dictionary of Art and Science, 23in (59cm) high; framed plate 20in x 14in (51cm x 35.5cm) (2)Footnotes:Provenance:Christie's, London, 1967.The Stephen Edell Collection.Neale's globe accessory was a geared version of a manual device presented to the Royal Society in 1747 by James Ferguson to show the apparent geocentric movements of the Moon. In it 'a simple wheel train at the top of the globe coupled the globe's rotation to that of a quadrantal moon-arm and thereby caused the moon to move relative to the globe and a stationary sun' (King & Millburn 196-7). Exactly when Neale devised it is uncertain as his only patent, obtained in 1744 was for a form of coaxial orrery. It was perhaps by association with this patent that Neale's globes were referred to as 'patent globes'The earliest description of Neale's device is in Edward Moore, A Supplement to all former treatises on the use of the globes, render'd necesssary from the late improvements exhibited to the public on mr.Neale's patent globes. In two parts ..., London 1751. printed: and sold by M. Cooper, in Pater-Noster-Row; B. Cole, mathematical instrument maker, in Fleet Street, and by the patentee, at his House in Leadenhall-Street. It was described again in a long advertisement in Daniel Fenning; New & easy guide to the use of the Globes, London 1754 wherein a ten page description he states that 3in and 12in models were made respectively for six and twelve guineas.The 'patent globes' were also illustrated in A New and Complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences: Comprehending All the Branches of Useful Knowledge ... Illustrated with Above Three Hundred Copper-Plates, Curiously Engraved by Mr. Jefferys ... by a Society of Gentlemen, London: 1754-1755.Only the lunar apparatus was made by Neale, the globes being supplied by Richard Cushee, a close neighbour of Neale's in Fleet Street. A pair of the 3in model with globes by Cushee fitted with Neale's device (the terrestrial dated 1731), are held in the Science Museum, London (See Calvert N° 5).John Neale (c. 1724-post 1783), was a watchmaker freed in the Skinners' Company in 1718 having been apprenticed to Jonathan Houillière. He lived in Leadenhall Street, and had a shop at the 'King's Arms and Dial', St Dunstan's, Fleet Street. He bound eleven apprentices between 1742 and 1758 and for a period employed James Watt. Neale made other instruments incorporating geared mechanisms (a waywiser is known), and also gave private lecture courses on the globes and electricity either in the homes of the clients or in his own dining room. He declared bankruptcy twice, in 1750 and 1758, but was a Common Councillor for the Ward of Aldersgate Within from 1768-83.Literature:H. R.

A fine Great War D.S.C. group of four awarded to Gunner, later Lieutenant-Commander, F. Grinney, Royal Navy, who was decorated for his gallant part in the celebrated ‘Swift and Broke’ action of April 1917; he saw further service during the Second World War and died in service on 8 February 1944 Distinguished Service Cross, G.V.R., hallmarks for London 1916, the reverse contemporarily engraved ‘F. Grinney, H.M.S. Broke. 21.4.17’; 1914-15 Star (Gnr. F. Grinney. R.N.); British War and Victory Medals (Gnr. F. Grinney. R.N.) mounted as worn, very fine (4) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.S.C. London Gazette 10 May 1917: ‘Awards for services in the action between H.M. Ships Swift and Broke and German destroyers on the night of 20th - 21st April 1917 ... Gnr. (T.) Frederick Grinney, R.N. (”Broke”) gave orders for the firing of the torpedo which struck one of the enemy destroyers.’ Of the events on the night of 20-21 April, Taffrails’ Endless Story recounts: ‘The vessels on both sides were now a blaze of gun-flashes, which made it very difficult to see what was happening, and Peck, in the Swift, was temporarily blinded by the flame of the 6-inch gun on the forecastle. Losing sight of the enemy for several seconds, and now travelling at full speed, he passed astern of the German line, though not before firing a torpedo at the fifth ship in the opposing line, which probably took effect. Altering course out of the wake of the Swift, Evans, in the Broke, held his fire for a moment to bring the sights of the torpedo director on the bridge on their target. Despard, the First Lieutenant, actually fired it, and after an interval it, or the Swift’s torpedo, fired at much the same time, struck the fifth ship in the enemy line full amidships, to explode in an upheaval of smoke and whitened spray which glowed redly in the blaze of gun-flashes. Both sides were steaming fast. Things were happening in seconds, and once more the Broke’s foremost guns had opened fire. Evans had been steering to ram; but, seeing the ship he was aiming for - G. 85 - struck by the torpedo, realised it was now unnecessary, put his helm to port, and swung outwards for a few seconds to give himself room to swing back again and ram the destroyer astern of G. 85. “If you put the helm over now, sir, you’ll get this next one all right, sir,” said Hickman, the Broke’s navigator, to his captain, who himself was conning the ship. Under heavy fire, and in a coruscation of gun-flashes and the sparkle and smoke of exploding shells, Evans put his helm over and drove straight for his enemy at 27 knots. There was hardly time to breathe, let alone to think coherently. The German, G. 42, increased speed, smoke and showers of sparks pouring from her funnels as she strove to escape. But it was too late. With a grinding thud, and the screech of tearing steel, the Broke’s bow crashed into her opponent’s port side abreast the after funnel. The terrific impact hurled the German practically over on her beam-ends as the Broke’s ram pushed her bodily through the water. It is impossible to describe the sensations of those on board both these ships as the collision occurred - the Broke’s grimly triumphant; the Germans filled with terror-stricken amazement and horror. It was a dreadful moment; but worse was yet to come. Man were screaming and shouting for help as the Broke’s guns, at their maximum depression, pumped shell after shell at a few yards’ range into the mass of men huddled on the deck of her stricken enemy. One of the German’s torpedo-tubes had stuck into the Broke’s side and was torn off its mounting. The anti-aircraft 2-pounders added to the din with their stuttering uproar, while the British seamen that remained alive in the forepart of the ship, with rifles and fixed bayonets, and revolvers and naked cutlasses, headed by Mr. Midshipman Donald Gyles, R.N.R., already wounded by a shell splinter in the eye, swarmed forward on to the Broke’s forecastle to repel boarders. They were taking no chances. No quarter was given. Every German who clambered over the bows was shot or bayoneted. A deadly small-arm fire was poured from the forecastle into the terrified men on G. 42’s deck. Even the officers on the Broke’s bridge used their automatic pistols. Few of their enemies survived the storm of lead and nickel. But the Broke did not escape unpunished. When things were happening every second, it is impossible to describe events in their strict chronological sequence; but early in the action, which cannot have lasted more than a few minutes, a shell explosion on the forecastle had hurled a box of 4-inch cartridges into the air to scatter them round about the bridge, where they burnt with the fierce red glow and leaping flames of consuming cordite. She was also blazing amidships. Illuminated like a beacon, she made a conspicuous target. A hostile destroyer slammed in salvo after salvo until she disappeared into the night. It was nearly impossible to miss at so short a range. In the space of a few moments the Broke was converted into a smoking shambles. In places, her decks were literally running in blood. She sustained 57 casualties, of whom 21 were killed outright, and no part of the ship was immune. Two shells had hit the bridge structure, to kill a signalman, and seriously to wound the helmsman and a man at the engine-room telegraphs. But the former, Able Seaman William George Rawles, who afterwards received the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal for his bravery, continued to steer the ship until G. 42 had been rammed. Then he collapsed from loss of blood. Many casualties had occurred among the guns’ crews of the forecastle through two enemy shells, one of which had detonated projectiles in a ready rack. All the electric cables and voice-pipes from the bridge had been shot away, while the after compass, after wireless-room, and searchlight were demolished. The foremost funnel was pierced through and through by splinters until it resembled a huge nutmeg-grater. A shell passing in through the side above the waterline had penetrated a coal-bunker, to explode in the boiler-room beyond, killing or wounding every man in the compartment and severing the main steam-pipe, from which the steam escaped with a deafening roar. And, besides the damage from enemy shell, the British flotilla-leader had a badly bent and crumpled bow, and two huge gashes forward above the waterline. Dead and wounded lay everywhere. With her bows locked in G. 42, she still steamed ahead, her speed gradually diminishing. Every man in sight on the German’s deck had been killed or wounded. Her stern portion was gradually sinking. Finally it disappeared altogether as the Broke ground her way clear. For a time Evans and his officers thought their ship was about to sink; but, once clear of G. 42, they set about trying to inflict further damage upon the flying enemy. Two were still in sight, one ahead and one to starboard, with the Swift in chase, long flames pouring from the funnels of all three as they steamed at full speed. But the Broke’s speed was dropping fast, and presently an engineer-officer arrived on the bridge with the sad news that the loss of feed-water was so great that she could not steam more than half-speed. He also pointed out that the ship must eventually come to a standstill. Evans accordingly turned and steamed slowly back towards the two sinking destroyers. About a mile from the spot, they passed through a number of German seamen in the water, who cried “Save! Save!” But at any moment the enemy might return to continue the fight. The Broke could not affo...
