An unusually large brass and iron clockmaker's uprighting tool, stamped for Robert North and Sons, Bushey, probably late 19th/early 20th century The 10 inch circular cast brass stage fitted with three steel work clamping arms incorporating knurled locking screws and substantial vertical brass tube for a lower pump centring arbor, the top with shaped limb to carry the upper arbor, on three down-curved cast supports with angled pad feet drilled for fixing to a bench, the stage bearing stamp Rob’t North & Sons, 18 Rudolph Road, BUSHEY HERTS height of frame 53cm (21ins) high; with two other uprighting tools, both probably Swiss, circa 1900, 23cm (9ins) and 15cm (6ins) high respectively, (3). The firm Robert North and Sons of Bushey, Hertfordshire appear to have been instrument and possibly machinery suppliers most likely established during the first quarter of 20th century; and are still in business today. A rare one-minute torpedo timer attributed to Charles Frodsham but retailed by Robert North and Sons (dating to circa 1944) was sold in these rooms on September 20th 2017 (lot 313).Uprighting tools were mainly used to ensure perpendicular alignment of wheel pivots between clock or watch movement plates during the rebushing process. The basic standard design can be seen in a catalogue published by Berthoud in 1763 which is reproduced in Crom, Theodore R. Horological Shop Tools 1700-1900 on page 100 (figure 149). It is most probable that the principal item in the current lot is of Swiss manufacture and was either retailed by Robert North or used in their workshops.
Lot 62
Two fusee adjusting rods, unsigned, probably English, first half of the 19th century The first with clamp incorporating three thumb screws at one end of the steel rod fitted with a set of three brass graduated spherical weights each with thumbscrew for locking onto the shaft, 33cm (13ins) long; the second with clamp employing a single thumbscrew set onto a sliding mount with further thumbscrew for locking onto the shaft further applied with small brass spherical weight incorporating friction spring, 33.5 (13.25ins) long, (2). Fusee adjusting rods are designed to assist in setting the tension of a mainspring to its optimum range to provide equal torque to the wheel train throughout the range of a fusee gear. A description of how such tools were used can be found in Crom, Theodore R. Horological Shop Tools 1700-1900 on pages 474-75.

Lot 39
A rare portable aneroid altimeter calibration pressure chamber, R. W. Munro limited, for use by the Air Ministry, London/Harlow circa 1940 The cylindrical brass vessel with screw-clamp end cover secured by turning a large four-spoke wheel, three raised circular glazed viewing apertures flanking internal lamp connection terminals to front and hand pressure pump beneath pipework and valve taps to right hand side, mounted via cast cradle supports onto a rectangular mahogany base applied with brass trade plate engraved REF. 6c/63, PORTABLE CALIBRATOR MK 1, FOR ALTIMETER, R. W. MUNRO LTD, SERIAL No. 263/40, with original conforming box cover applied with repeat trade plate and aluminium plate stamped AM 66 over R & S D and secured via knurled brass screws, (pipework incomplete and lacking pressure gauge), 51cm (20ins) wide. The firm R.W. Munro Limited can trace its origins back to 1783 when James Munro was apprenticed to a mathematical instrument maker in Wapping. His son, also called James, carried on the business, as did two of the younger James' sons. The partnership between the brothers was amicably dissolved in 1864 when Robert W. Munro set up on his own account as an instrument manufacturer, and thereby founded the present company. The firm quickly gained a considerable reputation in the fields of mathematical, optical, meteorological and banking equipment, fields in which it is still prominent. Munro provided instruments for the Scott and Shackleton Antarctic expeditions and, in the 20th century supplied components for the construction of H.P. Babbage's 'Mill', a connection which was renewed in 1956 when the company was commissioned by I.B.M. to construct a copy of the original. R.W. Munro and Co. is perhaps however best known for the development of the Dines anemometer (a design which has remained basically unchanged to the present day) - the demand for which came about in response to the Tay Bridge Disaster in 1879. The company was also involved at an early stage in the production of hydrological and experimental tank equipment, and was a pioneer in the field of aeronautical instruments. The current lot would have almost certainly been supplied to the Air Ministry to facilitate the calibration of aircraft altimeters during WWII.
