G. P. P A Y N E,
OPTICIAN AND CHRONOMETER MAKER,

(Late Melling and Payne, Bywater and Dawson, and
Egerton Smith,)
HAVING lately experienced such an increased demand
for his Marine Chronometers as to have some diffi-

culty in meeting it, has determined to enter more largely
into that branch of his manufacturing business, and has
now completed arrangements for having the instruments
made and finished on his own premises, which have been
altered for that purpose. He is now prepared to execute
Wholesale as well as Retail orders for Chronometers,
Watches, and Clocks, and will allow the utmost possible
trade discount on these articles, if for exportation or when

required by the trade
To render this improvement as effective as possible,
G. P. PAYNE has entered into partnership for a long pe•
rind with a Chronometer Manufacturer, who joining
practical experience with theoretical knowledge, will give
his exclusive attention to superintending and finishing the
instruments, and who, having, oi• the future, a direct
interest in this branch of the ablishment will afford as
additional security for fir -rate workmanship to that
hitherto supplied by the-egual warranty.
G. P. PAYNE begs to remark, that this is a very im-
portant feature in 'his new arrangements, inasmuch as
dealers in Chronometers and Watches are obliged to de-
pend on the veracity of their workmen for the character
of the instruments they sell : but all the great establish-
ments in London have raised their fame on the practical
superintendence and workmanship of the first founders,
who have been distinguished, not merely as shopkeepers,
but in their more dignified character as scientific mecha-
nics, whose superintendence, invention, and workman-
ship, have raised the English Chronometer to its present
perfection and utility. G. P. PAYNE, therefore, taking
advantage of the personal application of a scientific me-
chanic, combined with the established respectability of
the oldest shop in Liverpool, will be enabled successfully
to compete with the majority of the trade in Liverpool,
and, from his contiguity to Prescot, (where the Chrono-
meter movements for all England are made,) he will be in
a position to offer greater facilities, and at a less cost to
Exporters, than any house in London.
G. P. PAYNE will, as heretofore, personally undertake
the Rating of the Instruments, by Solar an Stellar
Transits of the Meridian, in the Observatory, over the
Factory, and by taking advantage of the extremely accu-
rate observations of the Astronomer at the Liverpool
Observatory ; and a new feature (except in public Ob-
servatories) has been introduced, of recording Mean Time
by two splendid Regulators, with mercurial compensating
pendulums, so that as one instrument gains daily one or
two tenths of a seeund, and the other loses as much, a
nearer approaob to Astronomical Accuracy, in Determin-
ing the Time, and Rating for Errors, is obtained than
that attempted, perhaps, in any other Private Establish-
ment either in London or Liverpool.
