Nauticalia's collection of display ships' telegraphs are reproduced from those found on great ships of the past. These classic pieces pay tribute to the ingenuity of steam and marine engineers. Modelled on the standard twin-lever pedestal telegraph, our range includes full-size and scaled-down yacht versions. Solid cast brass throughout, all feature an internal bell which rings when the lever's position is changed. The dials can be illuminated inside to create an intriguing atmospheric nautical lamp. |

In a country where weather is a major topic of interest, the barograph has assumed a lofty position as the aristocrat amongst meteorological instruments. Its exquisite appearance is combined with scientific precision to record atmospheric changes on a weekly chart which is rotated by a clockwork movement and marked in millibars. The vacuum-tested and finely calibrated mechanisms are housed in a hand-crafted mahogany and glass case with a drawer beneath for spare charts and instructions. Made in England by Russell Scientific, suppliers to forecasters worldwide. Dimensions 15x9x8''. One year's supply of charts is included. |
