Summary

This photo from the World Museum in Liverpool’s records shows the small hot box with its lid open. The grid at the base allowed heat to circulate. The chronometers appear to have been arranged for the photograph, but an impression of the accommodation available is evident. The thermometer shown is by Liverpool optician and instrument maker Richard Adie; it was probably not used in this box as it had a vertical stand making it too tall and difficult to view when the box lid was closed - "AHS" http://www.inbeat.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Part-2-Getting-the-right-time.pdf
