He entered the Admiralty and ran the instrument studio at the Izhora Factories from 1820 until his death, enjoying the right to add his personal mark to his output. He is considered the first and perhaps finest Russian master instrument maker in the first half of the 19th-century.

(33 x 23 x 23cm.)
In 1890 four compass manufacturers (Dent, Hughes, Lilley & Reynolds) were invited by the Royal Navy to compete for a new design of boat compass. The specifications required the instrument to be capable of handling the vibrations of a steamboat as well as the usual requirements for sailing and pulling boats and the resulting entries were tested aboard H.M.S. Vernon at Portsmouth. The example offered by Dent was the best on all counts and was introduced as BOATS COMPASS PATTERN 20 in 1892. Apart from a reduction in card size (from 7in. to 4in.) in 1907, the pattern (re-designated 182) remained in service until after World War I
