Andrew Henderson on March 10th, 2026:

From the Geneva Courier (March 15, 1876): "The instrument is from the old established manufactory of Steer [sic] & Turner, Westfield, Mass., and is guaranteed by them in every particular for the term of five years. This firm makes a specialty of personally superintending the putting up of their own instruments, and Mr. Steer [sic] will complete his labors in Geneva here to-morrow."
