Hi,
This is not quite as simple a task as it may appear. A lot depends upon the
nature of the rock and the sample available. If the rock is very distinctive, a
visual examination may be all that is required, but I rather doubt that will be
the case. If it is a piece of limestone or
What about "incised" ? My Collins dictionary says it is the process of cutting

Rather than making it as a moveable stripe to be adjusted during scene breaks,
why not make a clear acetate overlay with a shadow stripe, which could be
driven around by a simple battery powered clockwork motor. It should therefore
actually keep time!

George Bernard Shaw used a similar shed in his garden, so that he could
always work by natural south light. It rotated through about 30 degrees
either side of south. If you want to see it, visit Shaw's Corner
(National Trust), in Hertfordshire.

I also will have NO dealings with Facebook, which I see as an insidious way of

A recent letter in the BSS Bulletin (v.15, p.61) suggests that dials on

Someone suggested earlier on this list that a sundial on the

to make a single

conveniently at noon ! It is also quite likely that the sun will shine in
