Product Description
INTRODUCTION OF SEA CLOCK
After many shipwrecks arising from navigational errors, Parliament in 1714 passed the Longitude Act offering a reward of up to Euro20.000 to"... such person who shall discover the Longitude". One method was to devise a clock which could withstand the mothion of a ship and still maintain high accuracy. John Harrison and his brother James, who were originally carpenters, built a series of such clocks for test purposes and their first modle was named "H.L" which was mainly made of wood and weighed some 72lb. It incorporated several revolutionary features, notably a "Grassshopper" escapement and 2 dumb-bell pendulums. Our clock is a morden version of H.1-but weighing only 12lb. We have retained the "grssshoper" excapement and the dumb-bell pendulums, and still use a special wood-wound movement. The clock is supplied complete with a mahogany base and woodn framed glass case.
