No current MOT, the previous one expiring around a year ago. 69,000 miles, two-door. Well looked after in its lifetime and owned by its previous owner for a number of years.

Fountaine R.N. was supplied by the Synchronome Company with several of these astronomical clocks after attending a lecture by Frank Hope-Jones at the Royal Society of Arts. The clocks were installed in the basement of his home, Narford Hall, Norfolk, England and their rates carefully recorded. Admiral Fountaine’s observations were so precise that he identified and recorded a small six-monthly digression and insisted that it was due to nutation (a periodic variation in the precession of the equinoxes caused by the moon’s gravitational pull). This was subsequently confirmed and in 1927 Greenwich announced that they would in future apply the nutation figures as a corrective for their clocks. The clocks were then used worldwide in astronomical observatories, naval observatories, in scientific research, and a primary standard for national time dissemination services. The Shortt Synchronome was the first clock to be a more accurate time keeper than the earth itself; it was used in 1926 by Admiral Fountaine to detect tiny seasonal changes in the earth’s rotation rate. Shortt clocks achieved an accuracy of around 1 second per year, although a recent measurement indicated that they were even more accurate. About 100 were produced between 1922 and 1956.*Admiral Fountaine’s observations with his use of astronomical regulators were so precise that Greenwich Observatory accepted in in 1927 that the clocks were more accurate than the earth’s timekeeping; This was acknowledged also by Hope Jones in the accompanying books. The historical significance of the Clock was also recognised by George Daniels who tried to buy it, ‘for use in my workshop and to be available for examination by students’. There are two letters accompanying the lot from George Daniels that refer and another from Sotheby’s that relates to the Synchronome slave clock which is being sold as lot 1178. There are images of all these letters attached to the lot in the online catalogues. Three historical copies of Electrical Timekeeping by Frank Hope Jones are included with the items offered for sale:A first edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, including an original sketch cartoon by Hope-Jones sent in Dec 1935 with his hand written message “My latest free pendulum with best wishes for a Happy Christmas from your faithful slave who gives the impulse & synchronises himself with your kindly thoughts”, signed Hope Jones. The copy is also marked up and annotated throughout in his hand and with additional texts etc eg for additional chapter prepared for his publication of a second edition of the book.A second edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, inscribed by the author to his friend Major Cowan, and also including his Christmas Card of 1939/40 recording that he had been bombed out and a Christmas 1943 note acknowledging that his free pendulum had been superseded by the Quartz Clock but that he had “not relinquished the task until the time keeping possibilities of the pendulum were exhausted.”A second edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, given to his friend Mr Fry (mentioned in the book) and inscribed “To A R Fry…The champion amateur from the amateur champion, the Author” and signed by Hope Jones.NOTE: THE FOLLOWING LOT 1178, A SYNCHRONOME SLAVE DIAL, WAS USED BY ADMIRAL FOUNTAINE IN CONJUCTION WITH THIS REGULATOR SLAVE CLOCK.
