The length of Marine chronometer by John Harrison (24 March 1693-24 marzo 1776)
The length of Marine chronometer by John Harrison
Hello! my name is Paul Hussey and I was born in Portsmouth – England in 1961 (On the same day that my brother, but a year later.) Currently I live in an ancient city called Havant Victorian that once was famous for its paper production. My family tree goes back to the early kings of England from the 7th. Century AD. This gives me an interest in the history of English which is great fun to research. As I am a direct descendant of Sir Christopher Wren and I have a great interest in the history of English and British hero especially English as John Harrison.
The England Chinese call "The Island of Heroes", which I think summarizes what is English.
John Harrison (March 24, 1693 – March 24, 1776) was an English self-taught Yorkshire clockmaker and Carpenter, who invented the marine chronometer, a device as sought in solving the problem of determining the East-West position or length of a ship at sea, thus revolutionizing and extending the possibility of safe travel long distance sea at the age of sail. The problem was considered so difficult that the British Parliament offered a prize of £ 20,000 (compared to £ 2.87million / € 3.65million / $ 4.72million currency current) for the solution.
John Harrison was born in Foulby near Wakefield in West Yorkshire the first of five children in his family. His father worked as a carpenter in nearby Nostell Priory estate. The house where he was born wearing a blue plaque.
Around 1700 the family moved to the village of Barrow upon Humber North Lincolnshire. After his father's trade as a carpenter, Harrison built and repaired clocks in his spare time. Legend has it that at the age of six, while in bed with smallpox was given clock for fun, spending hours listening to it and study of its moving parts.
In 1730, Harrison created a description and drawings of a marine clock proposal to compete for
Longitude Prize and went to London to seek financial aid. He presented his ideas for Edmond Halley, the Astronomer Royal. As Halley George Graham refers to the country's largest watchmaker. He must have been impressed by Harrison, Graham Harrison staff provided money to build a model of your watch marine.
Harrison took five years to build Harrison Number One or H1. He showed members of the Royal Society who spoke on behalf of the Office length. The clock was first proposed that the Board considered to be worthy of a trial at sea. In 1736, Harrison sailed to Lisbon aboard the HMS Centurion and returned aboard the HMS Oxford. Upon his return, both the captain and the captain of the Orford praised sail design. The captain said his own calculations had placed at a hundred miles east of its true boat landed, he had was correctly predicted by Harrison H1.
This was not the transatlantic trip required by the board long, but the Board was impressed enough to grant Harrison £ 500 for further development. Harrison went on to develop H2, a version more compact and robust. In 1741, after three years of construction and two ground testing, H2 was ready, but by then Britain was at war with Spain in the War of Austrian Succession and the mechanism was considered too important to risk falling into Spanish hands. In any case, Harrison suddenly abandoned all work on this second machine when he discovered a serious design flaw in the concept of the balance bar. He was granted another 500 pounds by the Board waiting for the war is over, he used to work in H3. Harrison spent seventeen years working in this third "sea clock," but nevertheless not seems to have done as he wished. However, it has proved a valuable experience. Certainly, on this machine Harrison left the world two lasting bequests – Bimetallic strip and the roller bearing cage.
After firmly pursue various methods during the thirty years of experimentation, Harrison moved to London in late 1750, where to his surprise he found that some of the watches made by the successor to Graham Thomas Mudge time just as accurately maintained their clocks vast sea. Harrison realized that a simple clock after all may be accurate enough for the task and was a much more practical for use as a marine timekeeper. We proceeded to redesign the concept that the clock as a timing device, basing its design on sound scientific principles.
He had in early 1750 designed a precision clock for your own personal use that was made for him by the clockmaker John C. Jefferys 1752-1753. This Watch incorporates a novel friction and other flight was also probably the first to have both temperature compensation and is a spindle, which allows the clock to keep running while settlement. These characteristics lead to the successful completion of this Jefferys' clock, so Harrison incorporated into the design of two new watches intended to build. These were in the form of a large clock and a smaller size but similar pattern. However, only a larger number (Or "H4", as it is sometimes called) clock always seems to have been completed. (See the reference to "H6" below) With the help of some of the best workers in London, proceeded to design and make the first successful marine timekeeper for the first time, allowed a navigator to accurately assess the position length of your boat. Importantly, Harrison showed everyone what could be done. This was to be Harrison's masterpiece – an instrument of beauty, like a clock large pocket of the time. Harrison is engraved with the signature, marked No. 1 and 1759 dated.
This first marine clock (or "see the sea" as Harrison called it) is a 5.2 "diameter clock where two silver. The movement has a new type of leakage that can be classified as a type of other bearings, and superficially resembles the leakage point with which it is often incorrectly associated. The pallets of this flight are made of diamonds, a feat of construction in time. The spiral is a spiral flat, but for technical reasons, the actual balance was much larger than in a conventional time clock. The movement also has a center seconds movement with one hand over the seconds. The third wheel is equipped with internal teeth and developed a bridge similar to the balance of the period roosters. Runs in 5 beats (ticks) per second and is equipped with a small remontoire. A balance brake stops the clock half an hour before it is fully discharged, for the remontoire not run down. Temperature compensation is on the way to stop compensation "(or" thermometer Kirbo "as Harrison put it). This takes the form of a bimetallic strip mounted on the rack-sector regulator, and carry pins curb at the free end. During the development of No. 1, Harrison left the regulator, but left the disk controller in place for aesthetic reasons, and compensation.
H4 took six years to build and Harrison, then 68, sent on its transatlantic test in the care of his son, William, in 1761. When HMS Deptford arrived in Jamaica on clock was five seconds slower, which corresponds to an error of 1.25 minutes in length, or about one nautical mile. When the boat returned, Harrison hoped the prize of £ 20 000 but the Board believes that accuracy was a matter of luck and asked for another test. The Harrisons were outraged and demanded his prize, an issue that finally opened way to Parliament, which offered £ 5,000 for the design. The Harrison refused, but finally were forced to make another trip to the Caribbean city of Bridgetown, on the island of Barbados resolve the issue.
At the time of trial, another method to measure the length was prepared for the test: the method of lunar distances. The moon moves fast enough, some twelve degrees per day to easily measure the movement of day to day. By comparing the angle between the moon and the sun on the left for Britain, the "correct" (how they appear in Greenwich, England, at that time) of the moon could be calculated. By comparing this with the angle of the moon on the horizon, the length can be calculated.
During Harrison's second test of "H4" Reverend Neville Maskelyne was asked to accompany HMS Tarter and test the system Lunar distances. Again, "H4" proved almost uncannily accurate, keeping time with an accuracy of 39 seconds, which corresponds to an error in the length of Bridgetown, less than 10 miles (16km). Maskelyne measures were also quite good, 30 miles (48 km), but requires considerable work and calculation to use. At a meeting of the Board in 1765 presented the results, and once again they could not believe that was not a matter of luck. Once again, the matter came to Parliament, which offered £ 10,000 in advance and half after he gave the design to other watchmakers duplicate. H4 In the meantime, will be delivered to the Royal Astronomer long-term land of the test.
Harrison began work on her though H4 H5 tests were conducted, with H4 being effectively held hostage by the Board. After three years he had had enough, Harrison was "very misused by the gentlemen that I could have hoped for a better deal "and decided to seek the help of King George III. He received a hearing by the king, who was very upset with the Board. George King tested H5 himself in the palace and after ten weeks of daily observations between May and July 1772, found to be accurate to third party of a second per day. King George Harrison then advised Parliament's call for the total prize after threatening to report in person to undress. In 1773, when was 80 years old, Harrison was awarded in cash by the sum of £ 8,750 of Parliament for their achievements, but never received the official award (which was never granted anyone). He was to survive for only three more years.
In all, Harrison received £ 23,065 for his work on the timers. He received £ 4,315 in increments of the Board of Longitude for his work, £ 10,000 as a down payment on H4 in 1765 and 8750 pounds of Parliament in 1773. This gave him a reasonable income for most of his life (equivalent to approximately £ 45,000 per year in 2007, despite all its expenses, including materials and labor horologists subcontracted to others, he had out of this.) It became the equivalent of a billionaire (in today's terms) in the last decade of his life.
James Cook used K1, a copy of H4, in their second and third trips, the application of lunar distance method on his first voyage. Larcum K1 was made by Kendall, who had been apprenticed to John Jeffreys. record Cook is full of praise for the clock and graphics of the South Pacific Ocean Jeffrey John did with its use were remarkably accurate. K2 was aboard the HMS Bounty was recovered from Pitcairn Island, and then passed through several hands before arriving at the National Maritime Museum in London.
Harrison died in his eighty birthday and three and is buried in the cemetery of St. John's Church, Hampstead, with his second wife Elizabeth and son William. His tomb was restored in 1879 by the Worshipful Company Harrison watchmaker, but never had been a member of the Company.
Harrison's last home was in Red Lion Square, London, now a short walk the Holborn underground station. There is a plaque dedicated to Harrison on the wall of the Summit House on the south side of the square. A commemorative plaque to Harrison, was discovered in Abbey Westminster on 24 March 2006 finally recognized as a worthy companion to his friend Thomas Tompion and George Graham, "The Father of English watchmaking, which are buried in the Abbey. The monument shows a meridian line (line of constant length) in two metals to highlight wider Harrison invented the thermometer bimetallic strip. The band is engraved with its own length from 0 degrees, 7 minutes 35 seconds west.
The Corpus Clock in Cambridge, was released in 2008, is a tribute Harrison's work. Harrison drain grasshoppers – sculpted to look like a real grasshopper – is a defining feature of the clock.
Although the British Parliament John Harrison rewarded for his marine chronometer in 1773, their timers were not going to become standard. Timers like Thomas Earnshaw, suitable for general use nautical the end of the 18th century. However, it remains very expensive and the lunar distance method continued to be used for several decades.
