Yes, that is one of the original 1843 dipleidoscope designs. All the
original black finish seems to have been polished away, however.
This original design used a lot of expensive brass. Later models used a
cast brass "{scroll" base and a dipleidoscope body machined from a round
brass bar; this could be used for either the British Isles or for the
India model.

I gave a presentation on the Dent Dipleidoscope at the Harvard
conference
of the North American Sundial Society in 2013. If anyone is
interested, I
can provide a pdf of that presentation. The presentation includes
history,
detailed explanation of operation and lots of pictures of the
construction
of the dipleidoscope.
(specifically on-list)
Larry, I, for one, would appreciate your presentation.
