REPSOLD, JOHANN GEORG (17711830)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 136 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REPSOLD, JOHANN GEORG (17711830) , German
instrument
  maker, was born at Wremen in Hanover on the 23rd of September 1771, and became an engineer and afterwards
chief
  of the fire brigade in Hamburg, where he started business as an
instrument
  maker early in the 19th
century
 . He was killed by the fall of a
wall
  during a fire at Hamburg on the 14th of January 183o. The business was continued by his sons Georg (18041884)
and Adolf (1806-1871), and his grandsons Johann Adolf and Oskar Philipp.
J. G.
Repsold
  introduced essential improvements in the
meridian
  circles by substituting microscopes (on Jesse Ramsden's plan) for the verniers to read the circles, and by making the various parts perfectly symmetrical. For a number of years the firm furnished
meridian
  circles to the observatories at Hamburg,
Konigsberg
 , Pulkova, &c.; later on its activity declined, while Pistor and Martins of Berlin rose to
eminence
 . But after the discontinuance of this firm that of
Repsold
  again came to the front, not only in the construction of transit circles, but also of equatorial mountings and more especially of heliometers (see MICRO-
METER
 ).
