A bit ashamed of the self promotion, but also excited to be handing out booklets on the @PolyFalmouth’s dipping needle - @ScientificInst5 in Ottawa, given the importance of Canada for the history of magnetic science!

Very pleased to have been invited to submit “An Empire of Magnetism” to Ford Madox Ford’s “page 99 test” - evaluating a book based purely on its page 99.

Located outside his Castle in Bude - where Gurney performed optical experiments to perfect this technology, delivering gas lighting for a modern London, including inside the House of Commons, for a while

BSSC's Dr Edward Gillin (@edward_gillin) publishes new book that examines the development of the Fox-type dipping needle, from a product of Cornish #mining industry to a celebrated instrument of imperial science.

Thanks to everyone for the kind wishes and support over “An Empire of Magnetism”! Not just from me, but from the real brains behind the work: Alfred.

It’s finally out - all about Fox’s dipping needle and the Magnetic Crusade. And lots on #cornishscience
Thanks so much to @PolyFalmouth, @FalmouthUni, @FalmouthArtGall, and everyone who helped with this

At last. They have arrived. Thanks to everyone who helped with the project, from researchers, to crew, amanuenses, experimentalists, financiers, librarians, curators…it’s some list!

The underground experiments that helped shaped the magnetic dipping needles on which the royal navy’s global magnetic survey depended

The final instalment of a trilogy of papers on C19th #Cornishscience - this time on the mine as a site of electrical experiment. Thanks to History of Science for such a pleasing publication

The story of how Robert Were Fox’s magnetic dipping needles made their way from Falmouth to the furthest corners of the world - on ships like these…

First sight of the new book cover - HMS Terror and Erebus at the Antarctic by John Carmichael.

For anyone interested in Cornish science and British naval exploration in the 19th century. Thanks to @PolyFalmouth and @FalmouthArtGall, as ever, for the loan of the instrument!

Watch Dr Edward Gillin's fascinating talk about his voyage from Falmouth to Cape Town with an original nineteenth-century dipping needle retracing the routes of magnetic survey expeditions: https://t.co/Rf01068VZu @edward_gillin @AnnaMarieRoos3 #theterror #histsci #histstm
Unsure over what to do next Thursday afternoon? How about an online @royalsociety seminar on “The instruments of expeditionary science and the reworking of nineteenth-century magnetic experiment”? (23 Feb, 4pm) #hps #magnetism #cornishscience #theterror

An account of the Fox dipping needle’s voyage around Africa in 2020, complete with storms, diplomatic incidents, ants, tropical heat, and magnetic experiments, and lots of C19th Cornish science #cornishscience #theterror #science @FalmouthUni @royalsociety

Delighted to have this account of the Fox dipping needle’s voyage around Africa in 2020 published today in Notes & Records - and thanks to @PolyFalmouth and @FalmouthArtGall for the loan of the instrument! #cornishscience #hps #magnetism #theterror

Footnotes can lead you on a long journey!! From a reference in a paper by Michael Faraday in 1831, to a blue plaque and science festival in 21st-century #Cornwall

Excuse the poor editing skills and my absurd 1950s BBC accent…but @dbelteki and @CarolynKennett present an account of our underground experiments to measure the Earth’s gravity, replicating trials from the 1820s

Not far from the overgrown jungle wonder of Penjerrick - testing site for British naval magnetic instruments before expeditions…and the same Fox family! Franklin…Fitzroy…JCRoss…they all visited
#cornishscience #theterror
A few hours escape from the darkness of the mine - to the lush tropical vegetation of Glendurgan for lunch with a Fox. Some of these ferns date back to the 1830s, brought back by naval vessels from expeditions #history #garden #cornwall #cornish #gardening #BlossomWatch #tropical
Pendulum experiment in mine 1854 - pendulum experiment in mine 2022. Ours was modelled on earlier trials from 1826-8, hence the absence of the big triangular frame #cornishscience #hps #science #cornwall @MayesCreative #experiment @sci_instruments #cornish @ILoveCornwallUK
The sight of experiment: a c19th telescope aligned to view a white spot on a swinging pendulum - that disappears when it swings in coincidence with a black pendulum in front. Like watching a lunar eclipse through in miniature!
