The Trippensee Planetarium tellurion or “Elementary Planetarium†has been produced for over 90 years and offers a wonderful astronomical mechanism depicting how day night and the seasons are caused by the movement of the Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. It shows solar and lunar eclipses the motion of Venus in relation to the Sun and the rotation. The globe shows the major continents and cities with no internal political divisions except for the continental United States & Alaska shaded in green on the North American continent. The Tellurion or Tellurium was patented by Alexander Laing originally in 1897 as an educational device to be used in schools. He set up operations in Detroit MI and was later bought out by the Trippensee brothers who introduced their own version with a more reliable bicycle-style chain and gear drive and they sold them steadily. In order to further diversify the company they also built the Eddie Rickenbacker automobile for the E-M-F Company until 1927 when the Everitt Company went under. Trippensee brothers moved later to Saginaw Michigan where they occupied a three-story building at the corner of Cass and South Hamilton staying in business until 1999 when they were purchased by Science First. Their Orrery planetariums were made originally from wood and brass then Bakelite and finally plastics. See: Mark Theobald Coachbuiltcom Trippensee Manufacturing Company Rickenbacker Motors.

189852564Denver CO: Wm. Ainsworth 2151 Lawrence St. 1898. Oblong 8vo. 24 pp. Text illustrations & diagrams throughout. Pink-coloured printed softcovers cover art of assayers scale on front and back covers minor shelfwear minor tidemark to upper fore-edges slight sunning still VG- copy w/ original printed mailing envelope addressed to Joe Seliger 1868-1947 former stenographer secretary and metalworker for Honeyman Hardware Co. Portland OR. First edition of this very rare catalogue detailing the precision balances for mineral assayers manufacturers chemists jewelers and pulp paper makers. Ainsworth 1850-1917 began as a fine watchmaker steam engineer toolmaker and distiller who moved to Denver in 1877 where he initially began working for A.B. Ingols Jewelry. By the 1880s he was operating a jewelry store repairing balance scales for miners and assayers because at the time these were produced in England and required months of turnaround time for them to be shipped back and repaired prior to Ainsworth. Ainsworth developed his own excellent balance as presented in this catalogue which featured a shortened balance beam speeding up the assaying process and were much preferred by Western assay offices and miners. He continued to operate as a watchmaker and clock repairer but by 1895 began producing Brunton’s newly patented Pocket Transit which together with the balances proved to be a very successful combination with his first Catalogues A & B depicting both products issued in 1898. The company would continue to grow after his death and would be purchased by Xavier Science Corporation and now owned by the Denver Instrument Company.
