Restoration of Fultons Orrery. Inclued repair of damaged wheelwork, freeing up of seized parts, cleaning and oiling. My emphasis was to change as little as possible. The project included a survey, photographs as well as conservation and restoration work. I recommended the Orrery be hand operated only and not driven by an electric motor as it had been recently restored. In fact, the Orrery is now on display but not operated at all. |
