Download or read book The Officer of the Watch Telescope written by Brian Buckman and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1840s to the 1950s By 1840, new midshipmen in the British Navy began substituting the rifle range telescope for the large "day and night" naval telescopes then in use. These “officer of the watch” telescopes became a badge of rank in the Royal Navy, and many of the midshipmen kept them all of their lives… Almost all telescope makers of note made them, and opticians, jewelers, and tailors catering to the naval trade branded them. Foreign navies also adopted the style. This beautifully designed and detailed book is dedicated to these antique telescopes and those who love to collect them. Complete with hundreds of photographs, it’s THE comprehensive guide for collectors—or for those with a love of history and an appreciation for vintage instruments. Whether you’re a collector or simply a lover of antiques, you’ll find that Brian Buckman brings these beautiful instruments to life.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication lists over 5,000 scientific instrument makers and retailers working in the British Isles, together with a further 10,000 names of apprentices and associates. The directory transforms our understanding of the history of the scientific instrument-making trades in Britain. Each entry includes estimated working dates, specific trades, addresses, training, apprentices, types of instruments made and brief biographical details.

Book excerpt: A rare eleventh-century astrolabe from Toledoan astronomical instrument fetches a record price of 2.8 million pounds sterling in a London auction. A few days later, Dr Martin McKenna, an eccentric British expert of Islamic art and science, is murdered in his modest London flat. Only his former teacher, Professor Rietberg, is aware of a connection between McKenna and the astrolabein fact he was not only the owner of the alleged medieval instrument, but also its maker. Together with his Iranian friend, Daryoush, he had been in the forgery business for years, producing medieval Islamic artifacts to near-perfection in Isfahan. This astrolabe, their latest and ultimate forgery, was not only made for money, however. McKenna wanted to leave their imprint on historical research?even research based on a fake! Unaware of McKennas complex motives and his shady business, the police limit their investigation to angry neighbours and male prostitutes. Professor Rietberg, who is proud of his detective talents already proven in the case of The Janissary File (published by Universe in 2007), suspects the murderer to be among McKennas forgery victims. He embarks on a long but ultimately rewarding journey to fi nd the killer, which takes him through the London art market, to Iran and the Arab Gulf States.
