| 释义 |
John Ellicott (London, 1706–1772), was an eminent English clock and watchmaker of the 18th century. His father, a Cornishman, John Ellicott (-1733), was also a clockmaker and had been admitted to the Clockmakers' Company in 1696. John Ellicott (jnr) conducted business first from Austin Friars Street EC2 and later from Swithin’s Alley, Royal Exchange, and in 1738 was elected Fellow of the Royal Society. He showed a keen interest in scientific matters and maintained an observatory at his home in Hackney. He was best known for his work on temperature compensated pendulums and his use of the cylinder escapement. His quality workmanship led to an appointment as Clockmaker to George III. His son Edward (-1791), joined the business in 1760. Over their twelve-year partnership, their clocks were simply signed Ellicott, London.[1][2][3][4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.carter-wright.co.uk/?p=57 |title=Fine And Interesting Antique Clocks » JOHN ELLICOTT mahogany striking table clock, circa 1770 |publisher=Carter Wright |date= |accessdate=2010-08-27 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110911202951/http://www.carter-wright.co.uk/?p=57 |archivedate=2011-09-11 |df= }} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ellicott, John}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.davidrumsey.com/amico/amico1343400-120977.html |title=John Ellicott — Clock - 1740 - 1750 |publisher=Davidrumsey.com |date= |accessdate=2010-08-27}} 3. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D99GGTc9OX0C&pg=PA99&lpg=PA99&dq=John+Ellicott++1733&source=bl&ots=30l6KkQsXC&sig=ieDKTZBymo6AnH8ueWUIf74PQ8w&hl=en&ei=8nrhSsWLJc2y4Qbulu2HAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBMQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=John%20Ellicott%20%201733&f=false |title=Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World — G.
