Log o solcometro nautico in ottone a forma di fiocina, firmato T. Walker
s 1870
Located in Milan, IT
Log o solcometro contamiglia nautico in ottone a forma di fiocina, firmato T. Walker’s Patent Harpoon Ship Log A 1 London , della seconda metà dell’ 800. Si tratta di un antico strumento nautico, molto raro e dalla forma caratteristica, che misurava la distanza e la velocità di una nave. Veniva gettato fuori bordo e trascinato dietro la nave stessa; ruotando grazie alla sua elica, trasmetteva il numero di giri fatti su se stesso ai tre quadranti realizzati su una placca in metallo smaltato posta al centro del log; i quadranti riportavano le misurazioni in miglia da 0 a 100 in decine, da 0 a 10 in unità, da 0 a 1 in quarti. I dati venivano poi letti ogni ora per ricavare anche la velocità.
Buono stato sostituita aletta perfettamente funzionante e montato su base in legno ottone realizzata su misura.
Misure lunghezza cm 54 – 21.2 in, diametro elica cm 13 – 5.1 in.
L'ultima foto è la confezione regalo.
Nei secoli passati il tentativo di misurare la velocità delle navi era fortemente ostacolato soprattutto dall’ indisponibilità di strumenti per la misura del tempo di sufficiente precisione: gettando un pezzo di legno in mare dalla prua di una nave e misurando il tempo che questo impiegava per arrivare a poppa, era possibile ottenere qualche informazione sulla velocità della nave stessa, ma con molti errori e imprecisioni.
Il principio del solcometro meccanico fu illustrato alla Royal Society nel 1699 da Robert Hooke, ma il primo modello prodotto per uso commerciale venne brevettato solo nel 1802 da Edward Massey...

Brass nautical tamper in the shape of a spear W. Pilley Co Makers circa 1870
Located in Milan, IT
Brass nautical log or solcometer counter in the shape of a spear, signed W. Pilley & Co Makers Birmingham , from the second half of the 1800s. It is an ancient nautical instrument, very rare and with a characteristic shape, which measured the distance and speed of a ship. Veniva gettato fuori bordo e trascinato dietro la nave stessa; ruotando grazie alla sua elica, trasmetteva il numero di giri fatti su se stesso ai tre quadranti realizzati su una placca in metallo smaltato posta al centro del log; i quadranti riportavano le misurazioni in miglia da 0 a 100 in decine, da 0 a 10 in unità, da 0 a 1 in quarti. I dati venivano poi letti ogni ora per ricavare anche la velocità. Good condition fully functional and mounted on wooden base and brass made to measure.
Length measurements 55x13x13- inches 21.7x5.1x5.1.
The last photo is the gift box.
In past centuries, the attempt to measure the speed of ships was severely hampered mainly by the 'unavailability of time-measuring instruments of sufficient accuracy: by throwing a piece of wood overboard from the bow of a ship and measuring the time it took to reach the stern, it was possible to obtain some information about the speed of the ship itself, but with many errors and inaccuracies. The principle of the mechanical solcometer was explained to the Royal Society in 1699 by Robert Hooke, but the first model produced for commercial use was not patented until 1802 by Edward Massey...
