Tide predicting machine: front view
Photograph of the front view of the tide-predicting machine, designed by Lord Kelvin in 1876. Constructed by Lege for the Indian government, it was used for 23 years as a means for automatically calculating the tides at Indian ports, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. The principle of the tide indicator is the geometric construction known as harmonic motion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating photograph captures the front view of a tide-predicting machine designed by Lord Kelvin in 1876. Constructed by Lege for the Indian government, this innovative device was used for over two decades to automatically calculate tides at Indian ports, as well as along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada.
The principle behind this tide indicator is based on harmonic motion, a geometric construction that allowed for precise predictions of tidal patterns. This historical artifact represents a significant advancement in maritime technology during its time, showcasing the intersection of science and engineering in the late 19th century.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when manual calculations were replaced by automated machinery, revolutionizing how tides were predicted and monitored. The intricate design and functionality of this machine highlight the importance of accurate tidal information for navigation and coastal activities.
Through this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are given a glimpse into the past where innovation and ingenuity paved the way for advancements in oceanography and meteorology. It serves as a reminder of our enduring quest to understand and harness the forces of nature for practical purposes.
