A rare Jesse Ramsden-type Dividing Engine, English, dated 1830,signed Made by William Rothwell Bacup Lancashire Anno 1830, the 24-inch diameter brass dividing wheel with double 360 degree scale, rotating mandrel, two hand operated cutting tools, on oak table supported by black painted wooden trestle stand, 40in x 27in x 40in (102cm x 69cm x 102cm) Footnotes:Dividing engines mechanised the process of dividing scales for small instruments such as octants and sextants in the late 18th and throughout the 19th centuries. The instrument was fixed to the top of the engine, and angular divisions were marked on it using the engine's precision screw and a ratchet. Jesse Ramsden constructed the first such engine in London in 1767, later reluctantly sharing its design with other makers at the request of the government's Board of Longitude.LiteratureFor similar dividing engine by John Troughton see Anthony Turner, Early Scientific Instruments, Sotheby's Publication 1987 p. 217.THIS LOT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO VIEW AT THE BONHAMS OXFORD WAREHOUSE BY APPOINTMENTThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: WW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: UBD 904G Chassis No: 1R25234 MOT: T.B.AA time warp Series II Fixed Head Coupe, finished in eye-catching Primrose YellowMatching chassis and engine numbers, with all original panelworkA notably sharp exampleIntroduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar’s immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the bulk of Series II production.Despatched to the USA during October 1968, this notably original Series II Fixed Head Coupe was first registered in San Jose, California some three months later. Finished in the striking combination of Pale Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery, the two-seater boasts ‘matching chassis and engine numbers’ not to mention ‘all its original panelwork’ (which would be nigh on unheard of for an E-Type domiciled on this side of The Pond). Warranted by the American father and son who owned it from new until 2020, the Jaguar’s odometer displays some 44,000 miles. Riding on chrome wire wheels shod with thin-band whitewall tyres, the fixed head coupe has been treated to a major service and full exterior repaint by Mr Finish of Bolton in recent years. Californian ‘Black Plate’ cars are rightly sought after due to their typically corrosion-free structures and thus high degree of authenticity in terms of factory panel gaps and shut lines. Featuring a timewarp interior, ‘UBD 904G’ has much to recommend it and is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, handbook, lifting jack and tools, the accompanying history file contains the USA title documents, plus the current UK V5C.
