Download or read book How Scientific Instruments Have Changed Hands written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays discusses the marketing of scientific and medical instruments from the eighteenth century to the First World War. The evidence presented here is derived from sources as diverse as contemporary trade literature, through newspaper advertisements, to rarely-surviving inventories, and from the instruments themselves. The picture may not yet be complete, but it has been acknowledged that it is more complex than sketched out twenty-five or even fifty years ago. Here is a collection of case-studies from the United Kingdom, the Americas and Europe showing instruments moving from maker to market-place, and, to some extent, what happened next. Contributors are: Alexi Baker, Paolo Brenni, Laura Cházaro, Gloria Clifton, Peggy Aldrich Kidwell, Richard L. Kremer, A.D. Morrison-Low, Joshua Nall, Sara J. Schechner, and Liba Taub.
Download or read book Victorian Telescope Makers written by Ian S. Glass and published by Institute of Physics Publishing (GB). This book was released on 1997 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Telescope Makers is the story of a highly specialized & unusual business enterprise, that of telescope manufacture. Makers of some of the largest & best known telescopes of the Victorian era, the Grubbs of Dublin placed themselves at the forefront of optical & mechanical engineering in a world where continual innovation & improvement were the keys to success. For 95 years Thomas & Howard Grubb, father & son, supplied astronomical instruments to the world. Through extensive use of their original letters & documents Ian Glass has allowed the Grubbs to speak for themselves. The story recounted is of the development of a small leading-edge technology firm from its beginnings in 1830 as a billiard table manufactory to its eventual position as one of the major telescope makers of the Victorian era. The founder of the firm, Thomas Grubb, was an innovator in the field of telescope making & optical design. One of his earliest instruments was, for several years, the largest telescope in the world. Howard, the son, formalized the business, built a new factory & capitalized on the rapid growth of astrophysics. He in turn obtained the contract for the world's largest refractor, the 27 inch centrepiece of the Royal & Imperial Observatory in Vienna. Together, the story of Thomas & Howard Grubb provides an unique insight into a period of rapid growth & innovation in Victorian science. This book will prove fascinating to all those interested in the history of telescope manufacture & of astronomy as well as to students of the Irish past.
