Edward Troughton 's father was a farmer and Edward worked for his father when he was young. He became an apprentice mathematical instrument maker in 1770, working for his brother John Troughton in London. In 1779 he became a partner with his brother and they bought The Sign of the Orrey at 136 Fleet Street, London. Troughton soon established himself as the leading maker of instruments in England. Not only did he make great improvements in the design of existing instruments, but he also invented many new instruments. He began his instrument making career with instruments to aid navigation, for example, he designed the 'pillar' sextant, patented in 1788, the dip sector, the marine barometer and the reflecting circle built in 1796. Other instruments which he designed were for use in surveying. He designed the pyrometer, the mountain barometer and the large theodolites which were used in the American Coast Survey of 1815, and base-line measuring apparatus. In fact these instruments were later used in surveys of Ireland and of India.
