Lot 334
A VERY RARE WWII RAF-ISSUE PORTABLE ALTIMETER CALIBRATOR BY R.W. MUNRO, NO.130 CIRCA 1939 constructed in brass with japanned finish, the cylindrical pressure chamber with three circular viewing ports, external electrical contacts supplying internal lighting, circular access hatch with wheel operated 'O' seal, the endplate with valve assemblies for the application of positive and negative pressure feed, pressure relief valve, impressed Air Ministry property mark 'AM' surmounted by a crown, internally, white painted with lamp fittings, removable instrument holder, supported on twin cradles affixed to a mahogany plinth with maker’s plate and mahogany lid with screw fixings -- 9½ x 19½ x 9½in. (24 x 49.5 x 24cm.)Footnote: These instruments were ordered by the RAF from Munro to meet the substantially increased demands made upon testing facilities brought about by the rapidly increasing number of operational airfields. Very few of these are known and it is estimated that total production did not exceed 500. It is likely some were sent to allied countries -- one example has been found in Australia and another in the USA. In all, five are currently thought to exist.

A RARE, POSSIBLY UNIQUE, PROTOTYPE NAVIGATION COMPUTER BY HENRY HUGHES & SON LTD, CIRCA 1935 constructed principally in brass with various semi-circular scales marked for north declination, hour angle with micrometer setting, altitude and azimuth, optical illuminated eyepiece, set on a semi-circular articulating guide with switch, lamps, cable and plug, the base inscribed H.H. & S. Ltd London, the whole revolving upon a circular base set on a removable mahogany plinth with drop-on lid secured with clips, approximately --12in. (30.5cm.) cubedFootnote: This instrument was an attempt to solve the PZX navigational 'circular triangle' and speed up the complex established system based upon Bygrave-type slide rules and tables. It is known that E.J. Willis had developed a similar, though rather more complex, device. There was, at this time, intense competition between manufacturers to perfect a viable instrument and this example appears to be one such attempt that probably failed on grounds of cost.

THE BUILDER'S MODEL FOR H.M. KING VICTOR EMMANUEL III OF ITALY'S PRIVATE STEAM YACHT IELA, 1914, ORIGINALLY BUILT AS S.Y. RANNOCH, 1902, BY RAMAGE & FERGUSON the 40in. carved and laminated hull with bilge keel, propellers, portholes, carved stern and finely carved female figurehead with trail boards, boarding companionway, lined and lacquered decks with gilt and silvered fittings as appropriate including anchors on davits with studded chain, bell, companionway, anchor winch, deck lights, ventilators, panelled passenger accommodation with grab rail, wood and gilt brass binnacle, stove light, bridge and overbridge, with helm, telegraph and chart table, awning stanchions, stayed funnel with safety valve extension pipe and hooter, wood capped deck rails, six fitted boats swung-out in davits including steam launch, capstan, racks, masts with standing and running rigging and other details, mounted on raised plush-lined plinth on two ebonised supports with original glazed mahogany case on an associated stand with carved scrollwork legs with castors and shaped apron, measurements including stand -- 72 x 71 x 20in. (183 x 180 x 51cm.); together with a framed set of four black and white photographs of the yacht and some of her interiors (3)Footnote: An archetypal product of the golden era which spawned her, Iela was originally named Rannoch when she was designed for Mr T.V. Smith of London by Cox & King in 1902. Built at Leith by Ramage & Ferguson, she was registered at 546 tons Thames and measured 184ft in length overall, with a 26-foot beam. Powered by her builders’ own 3-cylinder engine, she was rated 100A1 by Lloyd’s Register and had the sleek lines which typified her breed. By 1912, she had passed into the ownership of Mr Gerard Craig Sellar of Cromwell Road, London but, at the end of that year, he put her up for sale and she was purchased by H.M. King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, and thereafter kept in Naples. He already owned a smaller steam yacht, also named Iela (329 tons) and built in 1891, and initially kept both for his personal use until the Italian state acquired an official yacht, Savoia II (ex-Citta di Palermo) in 1925. Even though the King used her a great deal, he also made considerable use of his two personal yachts throughout his reign, the older Iela having been disposed of before the commissioning of Savoia II. In 1939 the King sold his beloved Iela to Mario Pesce, sadly she was bombed and sunk by Allied aircraft on September 9th, 1943 at Secche della Meloria, a tiny island off Livorno.Condition report: Fine overall condition throughout.
