Together with three brass-cased weights 2.55m (8ft 5ins) high. Footnotes:James Allan, also spelt Allen, was born in Forres, Scotland likely around 1739. He seems to have been initially apprenticed to a blacksmith in Forres, and after completing his apprenticeship he moved to London. By chance, he shared a house with a sextant maker, and apparently Allan would assist the sextant maker in the evenings. Allan must have preferred instrument making to blacksmithing, as by 1786 he was making Borda circles, likely with Jesse Ramsden, whom he appears to have remained close to throughout his life. In 1790, he was listed as working at 76 New Gravel Lane, before moving to 12 Blewit's Buildings, Fetter Lane around 1800, where he would remain for the rest of his career. In 1809, he is listed in the trade directories at this address as a 'divider of mathematical instruments'. In 1816, he published his own method for making highly accurate screws and was subsequently awarded a silver medal for his screw making, by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce. This same organisation gave him several awards throughout the years: two gold medals, one for his self-correcting dividing engine (1810) and another for a theodolite of his own manufacture (1815), as well as another silver medal for a new Reflecting Repeating circle (1811). On 3 February 1820, he received another award, of £100, this time from the Board of Longitude for his 'Self-Correcting Dividing Engine' used for the manufacturing of theodolites, sextants, etc. This engine is now in the Science Museum in London. It seems that shortly after this he moved back to Forres, where he died a year later, on 7 September 1821, his obituary being published in the Inverness Courier. James Allan would later be mentioned by Thomas Reid, in his Treatise on Clock and Watch Making: Theoretical and Practical, as a late watchmaker of London and a 'master in the art of dividing mathematical and astronomical instruments'.One of his sons, also James, served an apprenticeship to the well-known instrument maker Charles Fairbone, then worked in Ramsden's shop between 1813-1816, before transferring to Matthew Berge's shop located at 196 Piccadilly. In 1819, he and Nathaniel Worthington, a former apprentice to both Berge and Allan (Snr.) inherited the business on Berge's death, setting up the partnership of Worthington and Allan. Interestingly, James Allan, of 196 Piccadilly, was enrolled at the London Mechanics Institute between June 1825 to March 1826. The partnership between Worthington and Allan continued until 1835, after which point Worthington assumed full control, until his death in 1851. Whether Allan died in 1835, or the partners simply had a falling out, remains unknown.Another son, John, seems to have worked with his father between 1790-1794, before he established himself as a marine instrument maker in Baltimore, having left the UK in 1807. His adverts boasted that all the instruments were made using his father's improved dividing engine.Reid, T (1832) Treatise on Clock and Watch Making: Theoretical and Practical.
