THEMA	Beschreibung
TEXT	This firm are manufacturers of optical, nautical, electrical, telegraphic, and surveying instruments; the premises were enlarged some three years ago, when machinery of the latest improved kind was put in. Among the special work here turned out may be mentioned the Kelvin standard balances, well known to electrical engineers for their high accuracy and constancy; the inspectional instruments used on the switchboards of central or other electric-lighting stations; the recording instruments; and electric-supply meters. The Kelvin laboratory, which was added to the works on their extension, is fitted with all the instruments and appliances necessary for carrying on the standardizing department of the business. The Kelvin siphon recorders for submarine telegraphy are indispensable to the thorough equipment of cable stations; and the Kelvin navigational instruments, namely the mariner's compass and the sounding machine, have long been regarded as essential to the outfit of every ship, both in the naval and in the mercantile marine of the world. Here also are manufactured the Barr and Stroud range-finders. The manufacture of surveying instruments is a branch of long standing, in which, besides the home trade, a considerable business is done with the colonies.
