AN EXTREMELY RARE WALNUT AND BRASS BALANCE BAROMETERH. MAPPLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1856 With arched brass scale calibrated in barometric inches with the usual observations and engraved H. Mapples PATENT Barometer to upper margin raised over pivoted cradle with counterweight and operating moving pointer for the scale with second recording pointer set behind, the whole raised on a cavetto moulded rectangular brass plinth over walnut box base enclosing rack-and-pinion mechanism for the adjustment of the recording pointer via a knob to the front, on cavetto moulded skirt and brass ball feet, (aneroid vacuum chamber lacking).34cm (13.5ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Provenance: The exhibition collection of Barometer World Museum, Merton, Devon; described and illustrated in Collins, Phillip Aneroid Barometers and their Restoration pages 205-6. Henry Mapple is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as publishing two articles in 'Trans. Soc. Arts' on clock springs and an escapement in 1838 and 1839 respectively. The British Museum webs archives notes that Henry Mapple was a former telegraph engineer for the Electric Telegraph Company who exhibited an electric telegraph, a clock escapement, and a telegraphic fire alarm at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He also, along with William Morris, held a Patent for electric timekeeping (No. 1515, 22nd June 1860 'Electric Clocks and Telegraphs').Henry Mapple devised this type of barometer and patented it in 1856 (Patent No. 1029). The pivoted cradle would have originally held a 'hollow tube, thin and exhausted of air'. This tube was designed to expand or contract due to change in barometric pressure causing a shift in the balance of its weight; consequently the balance cradle would tip and the pointer would move in relation to the scale.

A RARE SUBMARINE ANEROID 'SNORTING BAROMETER'ATTRIBUTED TO KELVIN HUGHES LTD, LONDON, CIRCA 1961The 8 inch circular dial calibrated white on black with barometric inches to circumference divided into tenths the centre with infill comprising three diminishing sectors finished in green, yellow and black corresponding to zones of decreasing pressure and inscribed R /PO/ 7605 set behind plexiglass cover secured within a square grey painted metal surround with twin lamp covers, brightness adjustment knob and inscribed WHEN PRESSURE TESYING A COMPARTMENT, THIS BAROMETER MUST BE REMOVED FOR, THE DURATION OF THE TEST to lower margin and with additional white label inscribed ANEROID, BAROMETER VIA, MISC.J.B. 16 to lower right hand corner, the left hand side of the case also with silvered plate inscribed ANEROID BAROMETER, ADMIRALTY PATTERN No 750, MANUFACTURERS TYPE No KKBA 0501, SERIAL No. GI 315/6i, KELVIN & HUGHES LTD, BASINGSTOKE, YEAR OF MANUFACTURE 1961.25.5cm (10.125ins) square, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. Provenance: The exhibition collection of Barometer World Museum, Merton, Devon. The firm of Kelvin and Hughes Limited was formed in 1947 with the merger of Henry Hughes and Son Limited of London with Kelvin, Bottomley and Baird Limited of Glasgow.The current lot would have been one of two such instruments installed into a diesel-powered submarine, one in the engine room, the other in the control room. The purpose of these barometers is to monitor the internal pressure of the submarine whilst it is submerged with the engines running. In this configuration the engines will be 'snorting' air via an induction mask passing up to the surface. This mast is fitted with a ball-valve to stop the engine taking on water in the event of a being submerged by a wave. Whilst the ball valve is shut the engines will cause the pressure to drop within the submarine which, if allowed to drop too much, could have serious consequences on the crew as well as the operation of the engines. The sectors marked in the centre of the instrument indicate when there is likely to be a problem, so that the command can take appropriate action by either adjusting the height of the induction tube, course of the submarine or, if in the red zone, shut down the engines.
A VERY RARE WILLIAM IV LUNAR WEATHER PROGNOSTICATORPUBLISHED BY C. UPJOHN, EXETER, TO THE DESIGN BY HENRY TROAKE, TOPSHAM, CIRCA 1831 The 15 by 13 inch printed paper panel with aperture for month of the year adjusted via a wooden turn to top, over dial with brass hand inscribed ENGAGEMENT and revolving disc annotated with radial days of the weeks four times set onto a dial with thirty-five divisions labelled 1 to 31 for date of the month, flanked by explanation passages providing the purpose of the instrument, the centre with two dials for SUMMER and WINTER flanking title WEATHER PROGNOSTICATOR each with outer twenty-four hour clock dial and centre divided into twelve sectors printed with varying weather predictions and with four brass setting hands engraved NEW, FIRST, FULL, LAST, the lower section with fourth dial again annotated 1 to 31 and with four brass hands the first labelled NEW and the others with symbols for waning, full and waxing moons, flanked by tree pairs of panel enclosing text passages providing additional information, the bottom edge with title panel Through all the lunations of each year for ever over inscriptions Published by C. Upjohn, Bookseller, Exeter; Designed and improved upon the system of the late astronomer Sir W'm Herschel by Henry Troake of Topsham, 1831; Roper, Sculp. Exeter, set within glazed case opening at the front for access.The exterior 44.5cm (17.5ins) high, 39.5cm (15,5ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep overall. Provenance: The exhibition collection of Barometer World Museum, Merton, Devon. The current lot explores the influence the moon may well have on weather conditions and draws upon the observations of Sir William Herschel with regards to patterns indicating a possible relationship between the age of the moon and the weather. The calculator is designed to be entirely hand-set with the operator having to know the full date, age of the moon and importantly the time of day the moon transitions from one phase to another. The passages explain how the calculator should be used and includes caveats regarding the difficulties of weather prediction during spring and autumn due to the irregular nature of conditions whilst transiting between the traditionally more settled summer and winter seasons.

Blow Book. Early magic flip book, probably French, circa 1820s/30s, 112 hand-coloured wood-engraved plates, comprising 16 each of 7 subjects, and the usual blank pages, no title or publishing details as usual, and without instruction slip (rarely present), some light spotting and marks, mainly marginal, fore-edges stepped and notched as issued, contemporary limp morocco, 8voQty: (1)Footnote:See Barbara Maria Stafford and Frances Terpak, Devices of Wonder, pp. 252-255.Rare early magician's blow book. These books were so designed that a blow of air by the conjuror and a swift riffling through the pages produced a different set of images - or showed a seemingly blank volume - depending on which way up the book was held and from which notch on the fore-edge it was thumbed. Our volume has seven changes: harlequin; dancing girl with garland; dancing black American with steam ship; clown; basket of flowers; horned satyr devil; and grinning skeleton. By their very nature these ephemeral items were designed for heavy use, and so rarely survive, particularly in good condition.

Axton Grand with Horn – Fine English Phonograph:On 9 November 1903, a 'Trademark' application was made by William Everett Scott of 27 Worship Street, London EC (Later moved to City Road). On the 10 December 1903, a demonstration of the 'New Machine' was reported in the Manchester Courier. In December, the London Shop in City Road started stocking the machine. In March 1904, Axton Trademark Registered. In April 1904, the Axton Machine used to stage a show by Mathew Bros & Co., Romford Essex. On 24 July 1905, 'British Phonograph Industries' is incorporated. However, on 17 February 1906, an application was made seeking the winding up of Axton Business. In January 1918, Axton Trademark was cancelled.35 x 30 x 36cmNo evidence is available to establish how many Axton Grand Phonographs were produced and sold. No evidence can be found of an Axton Grand being offered for sale at Auction. I can therefore only assume that my father purchased the machine privately.The Axton Grand is exceedingly rare and difficult to establish how many surviving examples exist. I would like to thank the CLPGS for their assistance regarding my enquires about this elusive machine. The example illustrated does not have a winding handle/key, but with appropriate engineering, one could be made. The machine is in a very fine condition and comes with an original reproducer. The lot includes a letter from The British Science Museum in reply to a letter sent by Russell Barnes regarding the Axton and is self-explanatory.Condition report: Lacking key so no guarantee motor works, but seems to be no reason why it would not. Base of machine is hollow(?), machine and case in generally very good condition

It is thought possible that the locomotive was built on board ship. Captain Saul was with the Cunard line.

The locomotive is sold together with a comprehensive history on Mr A B Macleod who purchased the locomotive following an advertisement in the Model Engineer in 1964. The locomotive was then purchased by Len Willoughby of Eastleigh in a poor state of repair. Len had the locomotive running and later sold it to Ian Braithwaite of Saffron Walden in 1970.The locomotive was sold to the now late Mr Keith Barnes in 1986 and after a re-build was steamed in 1989 and has been running ever since, spending some of its years with Keith in Holland, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, before returning with its owner to the UK.* The locomotive is sold with past boiler history and extensive documentation relating to the locomotive and its life in the model engineering world.BOILER HISTORY DISCLAIMERPlease Note: All boiler history records and references made in this catalogue are made for guidance only and the auctioneers are not able to convey any guarantees or warranties as to the safety of the boilers or their present condition.
