[QUOTE="Swellengear, post: 10153632, member: 89467"]Hi everyone. Thought I would post an update for you all: So far, no luck! The local collector had not seen one before, and could not shed any light. The scientific instruments pro in London had the following to say: "I have to admit that I have not seen a similar example of this type in my 40 years handling scientific instruments. I would suggest that you send details to the Oxford Museum of the History of Science [URL='http://www.hsm.ox.ac.uk/']www.hsm.ox.ac.uk[/URL] who might well be able to supply you with more information." So that is what I have done. I have sent off an email to the Oxford museum, and await their response! Ever further down the rabbit hole! :-)[/QUOTE]
