Extractions: BIOGRAFIA DI GIUSEPPE PIAZZI a cura di Pippo Battaglia Nato a Ponte di Valtellina, nel 1746, Giuseppe Piazzi fu un insigne astronomo, realizzò e diede alle stampe un corposo catalogo stellare, e quasi tutte le sue ricerche scientifiche, fondò due specole, quella di Palermo e quella di Napoli, contribuì a migliorare le prestazioni dei telescopi del XIX secolo influenzando e coinvolgendo Jesse Ramsden, geniale costruttore di strumenti del XVIII secolo, a sviluppare delle nuove tecniche per applicare una scala circolare ad uno strumento ottico che gli avrebbe permesso di raggiungere una precisione superiore al secondo di arco nelle misure celesti, ma, nonostante la sua versatile opera in diversi ambiti della scienza degli astri, nella maggior parte dei casi è ricordato soltanto per la scoperta di Cerere

Riccioli, Giovanni Battista (1598-1671) - Italian astronomer who is credited with naming many features of the moon, including naming the craters after famous scientists. He was also the first to observe a double star through a telescope. Rittenhouse, David (1732-1796) - American clock and instrument maker and astronomer who observed the transit of Venus in 1769 from his Pennsylvania farm. He is considered by many to be the father of American astronomy. Roche, Edouard (1820-1883) - demonstrated that an moon is limited in its orbit around a planet. If the moon passes within a certain distance (Roche Limit) it will be torn apart by the gravitational interactions between itself and the planet. Romer, Ole

Extractions: The following article by Anthony A. Leiserowitz is taken from the Museum of Surveying Newsletter The Dividing Engine in History Click on thumbnail photo below: Circular Dividing Engine that made surveying and scientific instruments sold by the Berger Company. This wonderful machine is on exhibit at the Museum of Surveying in Lansing, Michigan In 1773, Jesse Ramsden of England invented the circular dividing engine, an instrument which had a profound impact on Western history. Prior to his invention, the division and inscription of scales on mathematical instruments was done by hand. Therefore, the value of the instrument depended on the accuracy of the maker and his tools. Instruments such as surveying compasses were subject to wide variations in quality, as each instrument required a maker with an extraordinary control of tools and a very precise eye. Instruments were produced one at a time, which limited the number available for purchase and making them prohibitively expensive. Ramsden's invention of the mechanical dividing engine, however, eliminated human error and increased the production of precise scientific and mathematical instruments. This was particularly important for the development of the octant and the sextant, both vital to the British Navy. These instruments made the exploration of the world's oceans and the establishment of the British Empire possible. An octant or sextant enabled a sea captain to determine longitude, which, when mapped against latitude, provided his precise location anywhere on Earth. Ramsden shared in the national prize given to solve the longitude measurement problem.

Extractions: Entries covering Wrenthorpe and Silcoates in Local Trades Directories from 1853-1936 CONTENTS (click on the section you want) The local historian can derive valuable information from trades directories. These were the nineteenth century equivalent to the Yellow Pages, but gave more information than just lists of local companies. Each town and village has its own entry, which usually contains three types of information. Firstly there is a paragraph of general information about the area, a brief history, information about the local churches and schools along with details of the postal service. Next is a list of residents, which is followed by the main list of trades people in alphabetical order. Entries for Wrenthorpe from four old trades directories are printed below. It has to be remembered that as interesting as the entries are, they only provide us with limited information. Only the wealthiest residents are recorded and of these only the head of the household is listed. Some of the information may have been out of date at the time the directory was printed. The other most frustrating problem with village entries such as Wrenthorpe's, is the vagueness of the details. No precise address is given, there are no street numbers as there would be for businesses in towns and cities. At least we are given some indication due to ancient township boundary along the course of Foster Ford Beck and Balne Beck. Entries headed Silcoates therefore relate to Silcoates Lane, Wrenthorpe Lane (usually referred to as Sunny Hill) and Jerry Clay Lane which were in the old Alverthorpe-cum-Thornes township. Wrenthorpe entries are usually divided into Bragg Lane End, Potovens (meaning the present village centre to the East of the beck boundary) and Snow Hill (referring to the then isolated hamlet of properties near the Bay Horse PH).
