A fine and rare Lancashire wheel cutting engine, unsigned, late 18th century The cutter frame with pivoted vertical movement of the hand cranked geared cutter against a leafspring with adjustable screw-stop, mounted onto the substantial box frame via a screw-adjusted horizontal slide, the 15.25 inch brass circular index plate with twenty three original division rings ranging from 30 to 365 (a further six later rings marked to the inside edge) located via a detent fixed to the front of the frame, the central arbor passing through the frame to hold the work, the whole on four down-curved spiked supports, length of frame 73cm, with a small quantity of accessories including spare centre arbors, cutters and a square wrench. The overall design, construction and layout (including the operation of the cutter via hand-cranked crossed-out brass wheelwork) can be directly compared to an engraving of an English wheel cutting engine published in Enderson, William The Principles of Mechanics, 2nd edition 1758 (see Crom, Theodore R. Horological Shop Tools 1700-1900 page 634), an almost identical engine is illustrated in Crom, Theodore R. HOROLOGICAL WHEEL CUTTING ENGINES 1700 to 1900 page 93. The current lot appears to have survived in good original condition without the later modifications many similar engines have been subjected to. Provenance: The Workshop of John Hooper.
