Vejam que houve 3 gerações de cabras. Resta saber quem foi o responsável pelo relógio sob análise.
Murray, James of London and Calcutta ( India ).
There were four generations of makers all called James Murray.
James Murray (1)was born in 1780 in Church Street , Moffat , Scotland and later moved to Glasgow before coming to London in about 1810. He was freed from his apprenticeship in 1815 and was working in Cornhill from about 1814 until 1816. He became a liveryman of the Worship Company of Clockmakers in 1817 and established his business at 19 Sweetings Alley until 1818 when he moved back to Cornhill and took premises at number 30 where he appeared in trade directories for 1822/3, 1841, 1856.
James was a celebrated maker of chronometers and watches. Three of his chronometers were taken by Weddell to the South Pole between 1822-4. One was an 8 day model signed “Jas Murry”, another was of 2 days duration signed “Murry & Strachan” and the third was of 24 hour duration and signed “Murry”. All performed well and the report said:- ”they all performed sufficiently well to recommend the makers for their very improved mechanism in this important art”
James was in partnership with Charles Strachan between 1814 and 1819 and then worked alone until 1846 when the business became Murray and Co. In 1823 James married. He died in 1847 and was succeeded by his sons – James(2) and John. Without more definite details for James and/or John it is impossible to locate them in census returns.
James Murray(2) was the son of James(1) and succeeded his father along with his brother John Murray. He is known to have been at 1 Royal Exchange between 1873 and 1875. In 1882 the business is listed at 1 Royal Exchange as James Murray and Co.
Around 1864 the business traded as Murray & Bros. for a couple of years before James worked alone again until the start of the 1870’s. In about 1873 James went to Melbourne and worked from 107 Bourke Street East and then went on to Calcutta where he died in 1892.
James Murray(3) son of James (2) succeeded to his business in Calcutta . James(3) died in 1920 and was succeeded by James Murray(4)who was born in 1906 and ran the business from about 1930 until he sold up in 1947.
The business in London continued for some years, either as Murray and Co. or Murray and Mitchell. In the trade directories for 1891,1895, 1899 and also for 1902 they are listed at 1 Royal Exchange as chronometer makers and also as watch makers. Mitchell was a family relative from Glasgow.
Belo cronômetro!
Em caso tenho alguns livros sobre o assunto. Chegando lá, dou uma olhada pra ver se acho algo.
E a máquina, tem alguma fotinha dela para colocar para nós?
Um abraço,
Igor
João,Muito obrigado amigo, mas aqui o problema é outro, é net lentissima!
A sua imagem só aparecerá se o amigo hospedá-la em algum outro site da internet. Não é possível inseri-la diretamente do seu HD.
Aqui no FRM, sugerimos que os colegas utilizem o Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com), que é um site gratuito de hospedagem de imagens.
Lá, você criará uma conta e carregará suas imagens. Depois, para postá-las aqui, siga as dicas destes tutoriais:
