Item Details

Description

Heading: (Longitude)
Author:
Title: Report from the Committee on Mr. Earnshaw's Petition
Place Published: [London]
Publisher:House of Commons
Date Published: 1809
Description:

Two leaves, text on recto of first leaf, title printed on verso of second leaf.

A report from a committee of the Board of Longitude, declining to assign priority to the similar inventions of Earnshaw and of John Arnold but nonetheless awarding the sum of three thousand pounds to Earnshaw in recognition of his contributions toward the advancement of the art and science of timekeeping.

Thomas Earnshaw (1749-1829) was an English watchmaker who following John Arnold's earlier work, further simplified the process of marine chronometer production, making them available to the general public. He is also known for his improvements to the transit clock at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London and his invention of a chronometer escapement and a form of bimetallic compensation balance. OCLC locates no copies, COPAC locates only the National Library of Scotland copy.
