William Dines was the son of George Dines, a master builder who worked for Thomas Cubitt and advised Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on the design and construction of Osborne House. Both George and his son had a particular interest in weather predicting hence became fellows of the British Meteorological Society. William Dines was educated at Cambridge and served an engineering apprenticeship at Nine Elms Locomotive Works at Nine Elms, Battersea. After the Tay Bridge disaster in 1879 Dines undertook serious work on air pressure which later culminated in the invention of his pressure tune anemometer. In 1901 he undertook upper air research using kites and meteorographs made to his design and was granted the use of HMS Seahorse by the Admiralty to assist with his observations. At this time William Dines was serving as President of the Royal Meteorological Society and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1905.Dines developed his design of tilting syphon rainfall recorder during the First World War and it was brought into use and adopted by the Met. Office from around 1920 and is still in use today. Dines design is notable in that it utilises a self-tilting mechanism which causes the syphon to be automatically emptied once full. The instrument then resets itself so that it can continue recording.

7th century A.D. A bronze hollow-formed disc-shaped brooch with a central dot around which are four S-shaped birds with large eyes, curved beaks and bodies formed from interlaced lines; the outer sidewall with line decoration and remains of safety chain fixing hole; remains of a pin hinge and catchplate to the reverse. Cf. MacGregor, A. et al., A Summary Catalogue of the Continental Archaeological Collections (Roman Iron Age, Migration Period, Early Medieval), Oxford, 1997, item 2.2; cf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 53.48.6. 17.4 grams, 35 mm (1 3/8 in.). UK gallery, acquired in the 2000s. Property of an English gentleman. This Scandinavian Vendel period brooch precedes the Viking Era both in history and art style, as we can observe the use of box and disc brooches in both eras. There were lively contacts with continental Europe, and the Scandinavians continued to export iron, fur and slaves; in return they acquired art and innovations, such as the stirrup. Some of the riches were probably acquired through the control of mining districts and the production of iron. The rulers had troops of mounted elite warriors with costly armour, since their graves were found with stirrups and saddle ornaments of birds of prey in gilded bronze with encrusted garnets. The geometric and interlaced patter was popular especially in Scandinavia, although we can find ornaments with similar motif among continental Germanic people. Abstractly designed small brooches like this were fashionable until larger and more massive Viking oval and drum brooches replaced them.
