A granite roller

Lot 125

A fine French gilt brass carriage clock with multi-coloured relief cast chinoiserie panels and push-button repeat Gay, Lamaille and Company, Paris, late 19th centuryThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with oval PATENT SURETY ROLLER to centre of the backplate over further oval G.L trademark and serial number 749 to lower left, the dial with silvered Roman numeral chapter ring inset into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with an Arcadian oriental garden landscape incorporating figure on a bridge next to pavilion on a rocky outcrop to lower margin, the centre with a pair of swifts descending onto branches and fine stylised pierced and engraved gilt brass hands, the frosted gilt brass case a variant of the pillars design with baton centred geometric outline hinged handle over thick bevelled top glass, caddy top moulding and scalloped 'pagoda' cornice, the angles with bamboo three-quarter column uprights, the sides inset with fine figural scenes in copper, silver, grey and gilt of male archers hunting deer opposing robed figures flying kites next to a pavilion, on complex moulded plinth base with stepped skirt, the inside of the rear of the case stamped 273, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The firm of Gay, Lamaille and Company and their patent for the 'surety roller' is discussed by Thomas R. Wotruba in his article The story behind PATENT SURETY ROLLER stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2017 2019 (pages 239-47). Moritz describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transport) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1979. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. The highly decorative panels of the current lot employ a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast panels to bring the scenes alive. The distinctly Oriental style of the panels coupled with the 'pagoda' form of the case and details such as the finely worked hands have resulted in an object which is fully integrated in its design and execution in a style that would have been at the height of fashion during the 1880's. Condition Report: Movement is in clean condition and is running, with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strikework (including the repeat mechanism) is fully operational. The dial has some very slight rubbing to the black of the numerals otherwise appears to be in in perfect condition. The case is in similar condition exhibiting no noticeable wear to the gilding and finish to the panels or chips to the glasses.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A large aluminium and Perspex Van de Graaff electrostatic generatorW.B. Nicholson Scotland, mid 20th centuryConstructed with two-part aluminium sphere 12 inches in diameter enclosing fabric covered Perspex pulley over cylindrical plexiglass column above stepped domed base enclosing electric motor driving a conforming pulley, the exterior with FAST/SLOW adjustment knob and tradeplate inscribed VAN DE GRAAFF, GENERATOR around an diamond lozenge enclosing initials WBN, (rubber belt lacking), 98m (38.5ins) high and with insulated short stool; with an 'Earth Inducer' flip coil, the wooden frame with central circular rotating coil incorporating connection posts and detents to lower pivot and disc calibrated for degrees of rotation to the top, the outer frame pivoted at 90 degrees between two panel uprights over base with trade label inscribed SERIAL No. 20148, 400 TURNS 36G D.S.C. COPPER, MEAN DIAMETER 27.7 CM, PHILIP HARRIS LTD. BIRMINGHAM, 54.5cm (21.5ins) wide, (2). Provenance: By repute the Van de Graaff generator featured in an episode of the Dr. Who spin-off television series 'Torchwood'. The Van de Graaff generator was developed bt the American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff in 1929 as a particle accelerator for physics research; its high potential was designed to be used to accelerate subatomic particles to great speeds in an evacuated tube. It was the most powerful type of accelerator of the 1930s until the cyclotron was developed. Van de Graaff generators are still used as accelerators to generate energetic particles and X-ray beams for nuclear research and nuclear medicine as well as for educational demonstration purposes.The Van de Graaff works on the principal that the simple contact of dissimilar materials causes the transfer of some electrons from one material to the other. In operation the rubber of the belt will become negatively charged while the acrylic glass of the upper roller will become positively charged. The belt carries away negative charge on its inner surface while the upper roller accumulates positive charge within the aluminium globe. The size of the globe dictates the voltage potential that the instrument can accumulate but typically larger examples (as per the current lot) can generate in the region of 250,000 Volts. The Earth Inductor apparatus was devised by Charles Edouard Joseph Delzenne (1776-1866). The instrument is designed to measure the magnitude and direction of the earth's magnetic field using a flip coil in conjunction with a ballistic galvanometer. This is done by quickly flipped the coil through 180 degrees, and reading the output. By measuring the total charge delivered by the induced EMF the magnitude of the magnetic field threading the coil can be ascertained. Condition Report: Generator is intact and complete except for the belt. The aluminium is oxidised and pitted and the dome has some denting. We have not been able to test the electric motor due to non-compliant wiring. The stool has wear from use but is intact, the Earth Inducer is intact and in original condition: we have not been able to test the continuity of the coil. Condition Report Disclaimer
