Dear Anthony Eden,
Thank you so much for your posting about the Pilkington and Gibbs Heliochronometers. Of particular interest to me are all the details you've included. I hope you will keep us advised as this project goes forward. Meanwhile, do you have any photos and/or drawings you can scan and share as email attachments?
Also, I hope your posting will encourage others to write of their projects. Details, we crave details.
Best wishes, Mac Oglesby Anthony Eden wrote:
Yes, I am making a replica of the P & G Heliochronometer. In fact I have been making it for about four years or more ! The trouble is that I have done all the easy bits, have been in and out of hospital a few times since I began and am rather stuck on the more difficult bits. Though difficult to me, it would all no doubt be simple to an experienced metal worker and engineer. I was, and remain, neither.
