Description: | Bowl of Campbell sunshine recorder, brass. No lens (the lens/ glass ball shown in the image is probably from a different instrument, AST0767). No card.
Inscribed around the bowl it reads:
"HORAS NON NUMERO NISI SERENAS"
Typed on accompanying piece of paper: "Sunshine recorder made by Mr J. F. Campbell, in use at Greenwich from May 1876 to the end of 1886. Bright sunshine was recorded as a scorch mark on a strip of black millboard."
Unusual because this is made solely by J. F. Campbell - before he was joined by Stokes. It is a full bowl rather than the later arcs.
The lens is probably a spare lens for AST0767.
