Hi all,
I think it's OK with John Davis definitions of
inclination as the angle to the
horizontal and reclination as the angle to the
vertical, both as technical
terms and regardless our rich and venerable common
languages could

Hi Anselmo,
I believe that the difference between the two systems of EoT is that
one is the reciprocal function. That is that one is from solar to
standard where the other is from standard to solar. There does seem
to be a difference of opinion on which is correct, solar or standard
time.
Hi Edley, Since I began with sundials, I wondered about this eot thing, the
british say that in januari the sun is fast, yet the definition of eot is:
the difference: mean time minus real time, on the same moment. As man
invented mean time, I think the eot curve , starting to go up from 26

Hi Anselmo et all,
it is wrong to say 'La torre inclinada de Pisa' (the leaning tower of Pisa)
while it is correct to say 'La torre pendiente de Pisa'. ... :-)
In Italian , in mathematics and in science, the two words pendenza
(slope ?) and inclinazione (inclination) are equivalent and,

I am sorry, I must make a correction. 12/12 is the equivalent

I guess that is what I get for being off-topic...

Hi everyone,
Now that you're talking about drainage
inclinations, I'd like to pose a lexical question:
Which is the difference between 'inclination' and 'slope'?
As far as I can see, I gather that in English both
are interchangeable terms that denote
so the angle between some plane with

WhatI remember from Geometry tends to support the definition of
slope.
Also, slope in English seems to have come from "to
slip".

Hi Anselmo et al,
You're right - in English slope and inclination both refer to the angle to
the horizontal. This applies both to general usage and the specialist gnomonic
usage (as defined by the BSS Sundial Glossary at www.sundialsoc.org.uk)
However, whilst the inclination is usually given
