Early 20th Century Bronze Heliochronometer
by Negretti and Zambra on circular stone pedestal Heliochronometers are extremely precise forms of sundial capable of accuracy within one minute assuming it is in sunlight. Invented at the end of the 19th Century with the introduction of Greenwich Mean Time in Britain. Up until this time each major city in the UK had its own local time but with the expansion of the railway network a standardised time was necessitated. The heliochronometer is calibrated with months and days to enable it to mathematically calculate the "Equation of Time" compensating for the earths elliptical rather than circular orbit of the sun which would otherwise result in sundials being up to fifteen minutes fast or slow depending on the time of year. 51" (130cms) High For detailed photograph of dial click image Price £1900.00 |
