Octant 1760 - The octant, also known as Hadley's quadrant, forms an eighth of a circle but the use of reflection doubles the angle, so that the scale reads up to 90 degrees. It has a radius of 17.75 inches (45.1 cm). Sir Isaac Newton developed the principle of the octant but is was not until 1731 when John Hadley demonstrated its use for marine purposes to the Royal Society in London. The use of mirrors to bring a reflected image of stars or the sun alongside the horizon, when viewed through the sight improved the accuracy of navigation considerably. This particular octant has been crafted by Benjamin Martin, London, circa 1760.
