London, England - George Adams (1710-1773) and his son, also George Adams (1750-1795) were both instrument makers. The elder was instrument maker to George III, before and after he became King. The earliest dated instrument by him is thought to be 1735. He is unlikely to have used the inscription given on the balance after he became maker to the King (1760). So the balance probably dates from the mid 18th century, around 1750. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | balance CHEMICAL BALANCE ADAMS CHEMISTRY JOHN WEIGHING HAZLE CONSERVATION GEORGE BEAM | Temporal: | 1735/1760 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | ADAMS, George | Identifier: | CH1 | Language: | en-GB |
