Williams circa 1975 <p>A modern waterline scenic model of the ketch rigged yacht 'Great Britain II', circa 1972. The hull is carved from the solid, painted and set in a plaster sea base. It is fully equipped, with the sails set and complete with scale figures. The model is inscribed ‘Great Britain II’ on the port and starboard bows and stern, ‘CR1’ on the port stern, and ‘K3566’ on the mainsail. On the wooden base the label reads, ‘Great Britain II presented by the Army Sailing Association, winner FT clipper Race 1975-6’. There is also a maker’s label, ‘Brian H Williams Marine Artist’. The model is signed ‘POW’.</p> <p>This yacht was entered in the first round the world yacht race and was skippered by Chay Blyth with a crew from the Parachute Regiment. The ‘Great Britain II’ was built in the UK of foam sandwich construction and measured 77 feet in length with a beam of 18 feet. It finished first overall on elapsed time sailing 27,120 miles in 144 days 10 hours at an average speed of 7.41 knots, setting a world record time for any yacht circumnavigating the world.</p> SLR0303 National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.

A waterline model of the ‘Mayflower’ (circa 1615), a cargo and sailing vessel. The model is decked, equipped and rigged with sails set. Very little is known about the ‘Mayflower’s’ original appearance but the approximate dimensions were a length of 90 feet by 26 feet in the beam and 180 tons burden. It was a typical merchantman of the early Stuart period being three-masted, square-rigged on the fore and main masts, with a triangular lateen on the mizzen and a square spritsail rigged from under the bowsprit.</p> <p>The ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ embarked from Southampton in 1620, but had to return back to Plymouth when the vessel they were in company with, the ‘Speedwell’ was found to be unseaworthy. Finally on 6 September 1620, the ‘Mayflower’ sailed alone with around 100 passengers on board and finally reached Provincetown Harbour on 11 November. Under the leadership of William Bradford, a small party was sent ahead to find a suitable location for a permanent settlement. They later landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts on 21 December and these religious reformers founded the New England Colonies.</p> SLR0309 National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.

This dial is constructed as a diptych instrument with two leaves of black card, coated with black plastic, that fold together. The inside of the dial has cream-coloured paper stuck to the leaves. Leaf Ib features a sunface and a motto on the ribbon below: 'Behold and Begone about Your Work'. 'THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY SUNDIAL' is written at the top of the leaf. Leaf IIa contains the analemmatic dial. The horizontal dial has a string gnomon attached between the two leaves. Inside the horizontal hour scale is written 'Add 1 Hr. during Daylight Saving Time'. Below this is a table for the equation of time. The elliptical dial is printed on a ribbon and within it is a declination scale divided solstice to solstice by zodiacal sign. There are also four arrows to show the path of the sun through the zodiac.</p> <p>This dial is used with a long brass topped pin gnomon which is stored in a sheath at the edge of the lower leaf. It is accompanied by a booklet explaining its use. The example in the booklet makes use of a different set of figures for the equation of time, indicating that the equation has been adjusted to make sure that a complete conversion from local sun time to the mean time of the time zone occurs. Certainly the figures given on the dial itself are shifted approximately six minutes higher than their normal values.

The model is decked, equipped and rigged with the sails furled. It is set on a transparent perspex sea with a fleet of newly launched dories, fishing with their long lines on the seabed. The name ‘Argus’ and ‘LX8N’ is on the port and starboard bows and ‘Argus Lisboa’ is on the stern.</p> <p>These schooners would sail to the fish rich ground of the Grand Banks off the Newfoundland coast to fish for cod. The fishermen used the small wooden dories which could be rowed or sailed and caught the cod on baited long lines. Once the boat was full, almost to sinking, they would row back to the mother ship to off-load the catch where it was gutted, cleaned and packed in the hold with ice. The dories were designed so that the thwarts were removable to allow the hulls to be ‘nested' or stacked on top of each other on the deck of the mother ship.</p> SLR2168 National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.

The lines were taken in Edgar March’s book ‘Sailing Drifters’ (1952) along with the dimensions of the various timbers and fittings (pp. 213-216). The deck contains typical ‘clutter’, including a nine foot dinghy (planked and fully equipped), fish boxes, a bucket, anchor and spare ropes.

Changing little since the 19th century, the sartorial requirements remain scarlet coats, top hats and breeches. Bernard Weatherill is one of the few remaining companies who still make hand-made bespoke breeches. The elegant riding boots are hand-worked by internationally renowned bootmaker, Schnieder. Bernard Weatherill added Olympic buttons to mark the fact that the company made the riding coats for Britain’s equestrian teams at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. This type of coat is worn only by the master of the hunt. Dressage top hats have largely been replaced by the more protective hunting cap. Patey (London) Ltd, the maker of the hat shown here, are one of the few companies using traditional methods to make exclusive top hats and riding caps.

Nineteenth century German trade books show illustrations of toys using air to produce sound or movement. This bird is a lithographed tin plate example from China, made for the local market. Between the body and the wings of the bird is a tube of folded paper which acts as a bellows. The toy is hand held and operated by squeezing a loop of metal which extends from the tail and curves round to attach to bars under the wings. As the loop is squeezed the wings open and extend the paper bellows. When released, the wings close and the bellows make a sound.

The ears are loosely attached to the head and the body. Front legs in the air, the dog stands on a large platform shaped like feet, of gold coloured metal. When wound up, the dog hops along on the platform causing the ears to bob and the tail to wag. This was made in China for the local market rather than for export.

There is a third wheel also connected to the mechanism which extends to form the pin for the tail fin. As the toy moves, the side fins open and close and the tail fin, governed by the wheel, moves from one side to the other. This is actually an erratic movement and not just a swaying one. The whole fish moves one way, pauses then moves the other way. The breeding of goldfish in China has a long history and breeders have always attempted to create very large eyes as in this toy example.

Frederick MacManus and Partners designed the estate. These two long parallel grey brick buildings were built between 1969 and 1972. Mike Abrahams, working in nearby Grafton Road, was interested in documenting the lives of ordinary people. In 1981, he co-founded the picture agency, Network Photographers. Photographic themes include religion, the National Health Service and international conflict.

Bookings have been written in mainly by Elena Salvoni, who worked as maître d'hôtel (head waiter) at Bianchi's for 30 years. Beside the names are the size of the group and the time of the sitting. Bianchi's opened in 1928. The restaurant attracted many media, television and celebrity diners as well as members of parliament, journalists and lawyers. Regular diners for the year 1975 included the journalist Richard Ingrams and the actor Malcom McDowell. On 14 May is written the note 'Fire had to close'. This is one of a series of bookings diaries donated by Elena Salvoni. The restaurant's early diaries show that most diners booked for the lunch sitting; later the restaurant became more popular as an evening venue. 2004.144/9 H 213 mm; L 150 mm Eating Out 1950-2000 Italian London Women in the Workforce Bookings diary http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museumoflondon/images/microsites/derivatives//exploring/010/mid/2004_144_9.jpg /museumoflondon/images/microsites/derivatives//exploring/010/thumb/2004_144_9_a.jpg Department of Health and Social Security 1975-1980 Dr Barber arrived in London in 1949 as a Jewish refugee, having escaped with his wife from the former Czechoslovakia during the Second World War.

In 1962, the British and French Governments signed an agreement to develop the aircraft together. Exhaustive testing using a range of models was carried out in order to ascertain the ideal shape for the aircraft, and it became clear that a narrow delta wing would have sufficiently low drag for high-speed cruising and still have good handling characteristics at low speed and landing. 10307891; Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library > Transport > Aeronautics Hydrodynamic tunnel test of Concorde, c 1960s.; http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1030/7/10307891_2.jpg Hale, G. 1975 Slab and tower blocks at the Cathall Road estate, Leytonstone, replaced older terraced homes such as these.

He trained as an apprentice tapestry weaver at the Edinburgh Tapestry Company, subsequently known as the Dovecot Studios. In 1958 he left to study at Edinburgh College of Art, returning to the Dovecot where he became head weaver and resident designer and artistic director from 1962-1978. In 1962 Brennan also established and developed the tapestry department in Edinburgh College of Art. Brennan's work is renowned for its humorous and decorative qualities, and often focuses on a single simple form, which he refines and develops through the act of repetition. The theme of Chains was used in a series of works by Brennan. His inspiration came from a photograph of Isambard Kingdom Brunel standing before the launching chains of the 'Great Eastern' taken by Robert Howlett in 1857.

Cast iron is an iron alloy which normally contains between 1.8 and 4.5 % carbon by weight. It is made by melting pig iron, which has the effect of removing impurities, and is then cast in moulds to the desired shape. It can alternatively be poured into moulds directly from a blast furnace. The high carbon content tends to make cast iron somewhat brittle and prone to crack under tension. 10228934; Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library > Trade & Industry > Metallurgy A water cooled mould from a continuous casting machine, c 1970.; http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1022/8/10228934_2.jpg 1965-1975; In continuous casting, liquid metal is poured into a vertical mould, open at top and bottom, and solid metal is withdrawn at the bottom, the mould being water cooled.

Bricks have been manufactured for construction since ancient times. The Mesopotamians discovered that firing clay bricks in a kiln made them harder and more resistant to erosion. The rapid urbanisation which occurred in Britain during the Industrial Revolution brought about a boom in the brick-making industry. Bricks were cheap, easy to produce in large quantities, and their regular shape enabled quicker construction than stone which had to be worked into the desired shape before use. By the middle of the 19th century, 500 million bricks were being produced every year in the London area alone. By 1900 virtually all bricks were machine-made. 10284841; Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library > Trade & Industry > Building Construction & Architecture A brick wall, late 20th century.; http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1028/4/10284841_2.jpg Grant, Henry c. 1975 HG2621/35 © Henry Grant Collection/Museum of London Children Photograph: Children gathered with their home-made Guy Fawkes http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museumoflondon/images/microsites/derivatives//exploring/132/mid/HG2621_35.jpg Gregory Hale 1975 The Cathall Road estate, Leytonstone replaced older terraced homes.

One junction of the thermocouple is at the tip of the probe - the thermocouple produces a voltage which depends on the difference between the temperature of this junction and the room temperature. Circuitry in the display unit converts the voltage to a temperature difference, compensates for room temperature, and displays the result as a digital reading. It measures temperatures from minus 50 to plus 999 degrees celsius. 10326011; Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library > Natural World > Meteorology 'Digitherm' digital electronic thermometer with probe, c 1970s.; http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1032/6/10326011_2.jpg - 1960-1975; Dated from 1960-1975, this miniature reflecting telescope was built and designed by the amateur astronomer, Horace Dall. Fitted with a 95.25mm main mirror, the whole telescope folds flat for a carrying pouch that will fit inside a person's pocket. The instrument uses an optical configuration now known as the Dall-Kirkham design, an adaptation of the earlier Cassegrain system first proposed in 1672. Dall conceived of his modifications in 1928 and corresponded on its merits with fellow amateur, Allan Kirkham in Oregon, America. Later the design was described in the journal, 'Scientific American' under the title of, 'Dall-Kirkham' a name that has stuck ever since. 10408628; Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library > Natural World > Astronomy Dall-Kirkham reflecting telescope, 1960-1975.; http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1040/8/10408628_2.jpg Anthony Gross probably 1975 <p>Signed and inscribed in pencil by the artist, and with his name in the plate.

The ring is made of brass and has a fixed suspension bracket through which a leather thong is threaded. On the outer face is a date scale and an inscription: 'IO.H.S.THON ANNO 1721.' The equinoxes are marked at approximately 19 March and 19 September. On the inner face is an hour scale and an inscription: 'PIZ BUIN'. There is a central sliding collar, containing a pinhole, which can be moved by means of a small projecting piece. The ring comes with accompanying promotional information, in German, giving instructions on its use: 'hold the dial by the thong, so that the Sun shines through the hole in the central ring. The point of light that appears on the inside shows you the time.'</p> <p>Metallwarenfabrik manufactured 150,000 of these dials as a promotion for 'Piz Buin', and they were sold worldwide. The accompanying literature also explains their relationship with the original dial (made by Johannes Thon in 1721). Unfortunately, many of the dials have been sold on without the information about their origins and are now often bought by unsuspecting collectors as genuine 18th century instruments.</p> <p>For more information regarding this dial please refer to the OUP & NMM catalogue, 'Sundials at Greenwich'.</p> AST0252 National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London Sundials Ring dial (AST0252) http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/images/200/D/88/D8856.jpg Germany brass; leather Brian Aris 1975 NPG x87844 Roderick David ('Rod') Stewart http://images.npg.org.uk:8080/OCimg/weblg/3/5/mw83835.jpg bromide fibre print 15 1/8 in. x 13 3/4 in.
