In the second half of the 18th century, an instrument-making company established itself as one of the best in the country. The company was owned by two brothers, Edward and John Troughton. The Troughtons were mainly devoted to improving the methods of grading instruments. Troughton supplied his tools to many of the world's leading observers: Paris, Krakow, Brussels, Madras and Cadiz to name a few. Throughout his life, Edward continued to improve existing techniques. He also received several awards for his work. Due to advancing age, Troughton took William Simms into partnership in 1826. William Simms came from a family of engineers and toolmakers. His many inventions include an automatic splitting machine, which was able to speed up the process of grading tools, reducing their duration from weeks to a matter of hours. Under Simms management, the Troughton & Simms business expanded, and Simms was given the important assignment of building a theodolite (according to a design by Colonel A Strange) for the exploration of India, a feat of Sir George Everest, during which was discovered the highest mountainous region in the world in 1852. The Troughton & Simms firm remained in business until 1922.
