Drawing
15 engineer's drawings of the time-ball mechanism for Flamsteed House. There is some doubt as to whether these are in fact the Flamsteed House time-ball: could possibly be Deal. All but five drawings have been mounted on thick backing paper. Five are on linen architectural drawing paper. All are held together on a wooden roller, stored in a long cardboard box.
