The late Colonel A. Strange, F.R.S., 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Maull and Co. 'Colonel Alexander Strange...did much very good service in the work of the trigonometrical survey in India...and latterly in superintending here, for the Indian Government, the construction of a series of large astronomical and geodetical instruments...These, together with smaller transit instruments, such as astronomical clocks, were designed by Colonel Strange and manufactured under his direction. For the purpose of testing the instruments to be used in India, he had a special observatory built, adjacent to the India Store Department in Belvedere-road, Lambeth, which was erected and fitted up according to plans furnished by him, with entirely satisfactory results...The instruments which he sent to India have proved excellently well adapted to the work they were required to perform'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
