Re: A Most Beautiful Dial!

Dave, as far as I can see the smaller dials show italic and babylonian hours, the latter at the right with the too short gnomon. The things sticking out from the windowsills seem to be pipes to channel rainwater out and away from the sundial. Hannes [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: > Also curi

AW: Giant Cone Gnomon?

about the climate there, but during construction and hardening it has to be kept moist or the concrete will develop cracks and will not harden properly. I can supply links (and pics, if I go digging) if you are interested. hannes -- Koordinaten (WGS84) 47°15' N 11°

AW: Clever stuff!

. You'd have to produce a very tight layer of dots to show the shadow well. While the newer machines can produce much finer dots (I think the piece in your picture was made by an older model), they are still far from it. why not sandblast the backside of a plate of glass? h

false elllipse

with the sun back today I also tried the experiment with the "CD-Gnomon". I also saw the false ellipse. Could anyone -again- explain why the dot of light is not round? I didnt quite understand it the first time ... hannes -- hannes kühtreiber [EMAIL PROTE
