Excerpt from Catalogue of 1772 Stars: Chiefly Comprised Within the Zone 85-90 N. P. D., For the Epoch 1900, Deduced From Observations Made at the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford, During the Years 1894-1903
In July, 1898, I met the Radcliffe Trustees for the first time after assuming the duties of Radcliffe Observer, and was by them authorized to carry out some improvements in connexion with this instrument which seemed to me to be desirable. I was thus enabled to obtain from Sir Howard Grubb an electric chronograph, and from Messrs. Troughton 81. Simms a new and improved breech piece for the telescope.
