Garden Bench: A rare Dalkeith foundry Louis XV style cast iron seat circa 1870 with diamond registration stamp 188cm.; 74ins long The design is registered for the Dalkeith Ironworks, Dalkeith, Scotland. The company was certainly operating from circa 1810 until the end of the nineteenth century, and may well have been founded by David Mushet the famous metallurgist, born in Dalkeith in 1772 and brought up as an iron founder. An advertisement in a 1860 directory presents the company as ‘W R Mushet, Dalkeith Iron Works’. Apart from stoves and garden seats the company also offered fountains, metallic greenhouses and arbours. (See engraving).
A rare small ISAYEV liquid fuel engine on stand Russian, 1957 102cm.; 40ins high This liquid bi-propellant rocket motor is thought to have been developed for a high altitude surface to air missile, similar to the one used to shoot down the supposedly invulnerable U-2 spy plane piloted by Gary Powers on May 1st 1960. Very few of these engines have survived particularly in such good unused condition. Engines such as this could produce 6000 Hp and were single use, being destroyed by the high temperatures they created. This Russian built rocket motor was designed by the celebrated rocket scientist Alexei Isayev (1908-1971). Isayev rose to prominence during the Second World War designing a rocket powered plane which achieved 615m.p.h. a (un)official speed record for the time. At the end of the War he was sent to acquire German technology and in 1947 was created head of OKB-2 part of the Scientific research institute of the Ministry of Aviation. His specialty was small scale liquid fuelled rockets and his engines powered the rockets carrying the first artificial satellites, the first unmanned probes to the Moon and Venus and the world’s first manned spacecraft, the Vostok. At the same time as working on space programmes Isayev was involved in surface to air missile designs and air to sea missiles, his best known design the R-11 (Scud) is still in use today. Provenance: From the collection of the famous scientist Alexander Roudakov who was himself involved in amongst other programmes the development of the HFL.
