[time-nuts] Setting Clocks in the Mid 1800's

[Larry McDavid]

Yes, that is one of the original 1843 dipleidoscope designs. All the 
original black finish seems to have been polished away, however.

This original design used a lot of expensive brass. Later models used a 
cast brass "{scroll" base and a dipleidoscope body machined from a round 
brass bar; this could be used for either the British Isles or for the 
India model.
