That was a short article but an interesting concept of  " mapping" the lines on
a transparent medium and showing time where their shadow meets a point.  A page
or two later in that Compendium, Fred Sawyer showed how a stained glass window
could apply the concept.  I know Claude Hartman has done several designs that
use light that way.  I respect the creativity of the concept and designs.  They
are really neat!  Thanks.
