Re: Meridian line in Brussels

[Willy Leenders]

I answered Dan-George Uza with this message:


Hi Dan-George,

Hereby two articles from ZONNETIJDINGEN, the magazine of the Sundial 
Association Flanderen (Belgium) in 1999 and 2001, and photos I found about the 
meridian line in Brussels.


The appendix, however, only went to Dan-George Uza because it is 504 Kb and 
that is more than the admitted 290 Kb.

Those who want to receive the attachment must ask me.

Hi Dan

Twice articles on the meridian line in Brussels appeared in 1999 and 2001, in 
Dutch, one of the two official languages of Brussels, in the magazine of the 
Sundial Association of Flanders.
I will scan them and translate them into English after being digitized with 
character recognition.

But that will take me some time.

RE: Meridian line in Brussels

[Roger]

Hi Dan,
I cannot help you on the Brussels meridian but I enjoyed finding them in Italy, 
specifically the 8 in Sicily . Here is a link to a paper that includes a table 
of 74  in Italy. They became quite popular with the introduction of French 
hours based on noon rather that Italian hours based on sunset.  The meridians 
were educational tools to show the importance of noon.

This paper by Giogio Mesturini was published in 2002

According to the report, "Retired mechanical engineer and Friends of Berkeley 
Castle member Bob Hunt designed the sun dial according to the castle’s latitude 
and longitude.” Maybe Kevin can track him down?

This is my second attempt to send this message, hopefully without having the 
subject stripped off and the message encapsulated this time
Hi all,
I wonder who designed it? They incorporated a gapped gnomon as seen on the 
Spot-On sundials of Piers Nicholson (Piers, you should have patented the idea!) 
but it looks as though they used the wrong delineation origins for the ‘back 
hours’.

Hi all,

I wonder who designed it? They incorporated a gapped gnomon as seen on the 
Spot-On sundials of Piers Nicholson (Piers, you should have patented the idea!) 
but it looks as though they used the wrong delineation origins for the ‘back
