Cooke equatorial mounting for Cambridge in 1868

 The Rev William Kinglsey of Cambridge in 1858 ordered a  Universal equatorial mounting to carry a foot tube, with a 3 and 5/8 inch diameter.

I think that the Rev Kingsley invented an illuminator to be used with the microscope. It was I believe first used commercially by Andrew Ross around 1848.
