Museum of History of Science at Oxford Reconstruction of 18th-century
Simulation
The Museum of History of Science at Oxford, as part an exhibition,
showed the 18-century simulation of the transit of Venus made by Benjamin
Martin, a maker of scientific devices discussed in many places, including
"Fire in the Sky: Comets and Meteors, the Decisive Centuries,
in British Art and Science" by R. J. M. Olson and J. M. Pasachoff.
Their Website, http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/venus/html/reconstruction.htm,
shows three movies of the device in operation.
