JOHN CARTER, CHRONOMETER MAKER to the ROYAL NAVY,
Takes leave to submit the following high and flattering testimonial of his Marine and Pocket Chronometers, and to assure Gentlemen of the United Services, Merchants, and Captains, that they may fully rely on the steadiness and general uniformity of the rates of his Chronometers, Pocket Watches, and Astronomical Clocks, being manufactured under his own especial care and attention, regardless of time or expense in the perfection of such important instruments.
"Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Oct. 22, 1838.
"I certify that, since the commencement of the annual trials of Chronometers at the Royal Observatory, in competition for rewards offered by the Government for the best Chronometers, Mr. Carter, Chronometer Maker, of Tooley Street, has obtained a greater number of rewards than any other Chronometer Maker, and that he obtained the two last rewards given by the Government. I certify, also, that since I have had charge of the Royal Observatory, several Chronometers constructed by Mr. Carter, either belonging to the Royal Navy, or on trial for purchase by the Government, have been rated at the Royal Observatory, and that they have generally been extremely good.
(Signed) "G. B. Airey."
Chronometers and Watches carefully adjusted, timed, and rated or exchanged.—61, CORNHILL.
