A fine and rare Scottish brass mounted mahogany stick barometer with hygrometer William Dobbie to a design by John Russell, Falkirk, circa 1845 The chevron banded case with swan neck pediment and cavetto cornice above arch-glazed door enclosing fine engraved silvered brass scale incorporating HYGROMETER calibrated 0-30 in both directions and annotated DRY/MOIST flanked by fine foliate scroll infill to arch, above arched banner titled BAROMETER and signed W m Dobbie, Falkirk over Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual weather observations positioned to the right of the tube, opposing spirit tube Fahrenheit thermometer similarly labelled THERMOMETER in an arch above to the left, the trunk applied with full-height Corinthian half column with reeded shaft and cast brass capital and base over slightly domed oval cistern cover, 110cm (43.25ins) high excluding finial. Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. B44); purchased from J.W. Blanchard Limited, Winchester, 14th January 1993 for £1,700. William Dobbie is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, volume 2 as a clock and watchmaker born in Falkirk, 1796 and died 1845. The design of the current lot was devised by the celebrated clock and watch maker John Russell who settled in Falkirk in 1770 in a shop opposite the top of Kirk Wynd. He subsequently became watch maker to the Prince of Wales and died in 1817. The basic design of the current lot was probably developed around 1785 by Russell and appears to have be closely related to that of Benjamin Martin s Triple Weather Glass (an example of which was sold in these rooms in our sale of Mallett: Taking Stock 8th November 2018, lot 109). In his work English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 Nicholas Goodison refers to an excerpt from the Alloa Monthly Advertiser of 7th February 1845 in which it was announced that William Dobbie of Falkirk had just completed two of Russell s splendid royal barometers (now scarce), warranted identical with those made by the original constructor.. from this it would appear that Dobbie was trading on the back of Russell s reputation or perhaps even as his successor. Indeed the current lot would support the latter as the engraving to the register plate is all but identical to an example by Russell illustrated by Goodison on page 230 (plate 157).

Ω A rare George III inlaid mahogany mercury wheel barometer with unusual indication Joshua Springer, Bristol, circa 1795 With triple line-edged rounded top inset with a hygrometer scale engraved DRY/MOIST and signed Springer, Bristol over conforming strung baluster outline upright with large glazed rectangular Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer flanked by foliate oval lozenge marquetry motifs, the 8.5 inch circular register further signed J. Springer, Bristol to centre over central spindle applied with ivory pulley assembly flanked by text Fair if Rise opposing Foul if Fall, the lower section beneath the spindle with vertical scale calibrated in barometric inches 28-31 and annotated with usual observations, the circumference with concentric scale divided for hundredths of a barometric inch annotated for every tenth, the rounded base with marquetry fan rosette , (unrestored, lacking hygrometer centre and glass, tube, bezel, hand and cursor weight), 97cm (38.25ins) high. Joshua Springer is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as succeeding the London scientific instrument maker John Wright (who had trained under Benjamin Cole and settled in Bristol in 1756) in 1759. Springer initially worked from Hadleys Quadrant, St. Stephen s Lane, Bristol, before moving to 2 Clare Street in 1775 where he remained until 1808. Goodison notes several angle barometers by Springer in addition to a very small group of wheel barometers made with the same design of dial as the current lot. The highly unusual register plate of the current instrument is designed to allow the vertical barometric scale beneath the centre spindle to be read via a small brass cursor weight suspended from a line wound around the ivory pulley. This is in-turn, driven by a second pulley on the other end of the spindle connected in the usual manner (via a line and glass float) to the open-end of the mercury syphon tube. The diameter of both pulleys have been carefully tuned to ensure that the spindle revolves once for every barometric inch covered, thus allowing the hand to provide a reading to two decimal points for each inch covered by the cursor weight. Another example by Springer with an almost identical dial to the current lot is illustrated by Goodison on pages 246-47 (plates 168 and 169).Cites Regulations Please note that this lot (lots marked with the symbol Ω in the printed catalogue) may be subject to CITES regulations when exported from the EU.

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.

A fine George III mahogany bayonet-tube mercury stick barometer with large-scale thermometer Nairne and Blunt, London, circa 1780 The caddy moulded case inset with arched silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to the right hand margin opposing weather observations to the left, the upper margin signed in a curve Nairne & Blunt, London and the lower edge decorated with an engraved leafy scroll flanked cavetto-shaped angles, the trunk applied with full-height silvered-scale spirit thermometer calibrated in Fahrenheit with scale divided in degrees annotated 0-110 opposing markers inscribed Freezing, Temprate and Blood Heat, over pierced brass bulb shield and circular base applied with half sphere cistern cover incorporating level adjustment screw to underside, 96.5cm (38ins) high. Provenance: Private collection Hampshire (ref. B14); purchased at Mallams, Oxford, June 1982 for £1,050 hammer. The collaboration between Edward Nairne and his former apprentice Thomas Blunt is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as established in 1774 and lasting until 1793. Edward Nairne was born in 1726 and apprenticed to the celebrated instrument maker, Matthew Loft, in 1741. Latterly he worked from 20 Cornhill and published numerous booklets on navigational, pneumatic and astronomical instruments. In 1776 Nairne devised a marine barometer with a restriction to the bore of the mercury tube which served to dampen the oscillation of the mercury, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1776 and died 1806. Thomas Blunt was apprenticed to Edward Nairne in 1760 with whom he formed a loose partnership in 1774, perhaps for mutual convenience as his premises were next door to Nairne's at 22 Cornhill. Blunt designed some of the components for the 'New Barometer' devised by the Portuguese Scientist J.H. Magellan for measuring altitude, and latterly became instrument maker to George III. In 1793 he took his son, also named Thomas, into partnership and subsequently relocated to 136 Minories in 1814, he died in 1822. An almost identical instrument to the current lot (signed by Nairne alone) is illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS, Stick or Cistern tube on page 75.

Ω A rare William IV or early Victorian mahogany and brass mercury portable mountain stick barometer John Newman, London, circa 1835 The slender circular section mahogany case incorporating slot applied with canted silvered brass Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches from 18 inches to over 32 inches divided into twentieths and annotated 19-32 to right hand margin set behind brass revolving cylindrical shutter and with Vernier adjustment screw to cap, the waist applied with ivory collar engraved NEWMANS IMPROVED PORTABLE IRON CISTERN, 122 REGENT STREET, LONDON opposing annotations CORRECTION FOR CAPACITIES 1/50, NEUTRAL POINT 30.012, CAPILLARY ACTION +.038, TEMPERATURE 66 (degrees), the slightly tapered lower section with inset Fahrenheit mercury thermometer applied to ivory scale over two-part brass cased iron cistern, the lower part turning against a pinned slot engraved with two positions PORTABLE and NOT PORTABLE, 91.5cm (36ins) high; with original leather cylindrical carrying case. Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. B26). John Frederick Newman‚ is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS as working at 7 and 8 Lisle Street, London, 1816-25 then 122 Regent Street 1827-62 when the business was taken over by Negretti and Zambra. He made standard and portable barometers for James Clark Ross's Antarctic expeditions (1839-1843). In 1851 he exhibited at the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace and his meterological station barometers were used throughout the British Empire. Soon after the invention of the barometer in the 17th century it was observed that air pressure decreased with altitude. However, it was not until the latter part of the 18th century before an accurate mathematical relationship between height and drop in air pressure had been devised allowing barometers to be made with the intention of measuring altitude. The two-part iron cistern employed in the current lot was devised by Newman in 1833 to allow safe transport of the instrument. The construction of the cistern incorporates a valve mechanism which essentially shuts off the mercury column from the atmosphere when the lower half of the cylinder is rotated to the PORTABLE position. Newman s instructions for the use of the barometer advises that the instrument should be inverted before the cistern is closed-off presumably to prevent the mercury column from bouncing against the top of the column (potentially breaking the glass) and transported upside-down. Indeed the leather case present with the lot is designed for the instrument to be inverted before insertion. An almost identical instrument to the current lot was purchased by Charles Darwin in 1831 for use on the Beagle voyage (1831-36) and was presented to the Royal Society by the executors of his estate after his death in 1882.Cites Regulations Please note that this lot (lots marked with the symbol Ω in the printed catalogue) may be subject to CITES regulations when exported from the EU.

Gatty is considered to be probably the most sought-after maker of early wheel barometers which tend to be of the finest quality.

Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. B104); Purchased at Woolley and Wallis, Salisbury, 9th January 2001 (Lot 296) for £1,600 hammer. John R. Cameron is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as a chronometer and watch maker working from 54 Castle Street, Liverpool circa 1850-70. The sympiesometer was invented by Alexander Adie of Edinburgh in 1818 and is essentially an improved version of Robert Hooke's thermobarometer which was subject of a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1668. The instrument works by having a syphon tube filled with liquid open to the air at one end and with trapped gas at the other (sulphuric acid and hydrogen were used in later sympiesometers). As barometric pressure increases the liquid will be forced down the tube causing the gas to be compressed, resulting in a change in level in the tube. Unfortunately the volume of the gas changes with temperature so before a reliable reading can be taken the instrument would first need to be calibrated by adjusting the position of the movable barometer scale in relation to the temperature scale behind to reflect the reading provided by the thermometer. The sympiesometer was conceived as an alternative to the mercury marine barometer as it was smaller and believed to be less susceptible to the motion of a vessel at sea.Cites Regulations Please note that this lot (lots marked with the symbol Ω in the printed catalogue) may be subject to CITES regulations when exported from the EU.

A rare Victorian carved oak and opaque glass maximum/minimum thermometer Unsigned, third quarter of the 19th century The arched opaque glass Fahrenheit scale plate applied with shaped tube arranged to provide a minimum reading to the inverted scale on the left hand side and maximum reading to the ascending scale to the right, the lower bend of the tube filled with mercury acting against markers inserted within the spirit filled sections, the scale further annotated COLD to the upper left margin opposing HEAT to the right, mounted on scroll-carved an oak wall panel for wall mounting, 38cm (15ins) high. This type of maximum/minimum thermometer was invented by James Six (1731-1793) in around 1780 and relies on markers inserted in the tube to remain at the highest position gained by the mercury over a given period, hence a record of the minimum temperature on the inverted scale to the left and highest temperature to the ascending scale on the right can be obtained.

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.
