Bonjour! Je lis votre message ci-dessous avec retard, et si ça ne vous ennuie pas, j'aimerais en effet recevoir une copie de l'article... Merci déjà! (Heureusement, à cette date-là, le 'Reply' fonctionnait encore...;-) ) Cordialement, Thierry van Steenberghe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________     Jean-Paul Cornec wrote: Anselmo The sundial on the Place de la Concorde in Paris is a classical horizontal sundial with the "Obelisque" as a vertical gnomon. Lines are now more or less erased due a lack of maintenance. There was a scheme with a short explanation in the june 1999 issue of "L'Astronomie". I can scan it and send it to you or to any member of the list; just send me a mail. Regards Jean-Paul Cornec (...)   Now that I remember, a kind of touristical question: in this month's issue of the spanish version of Scientific American there is an articleby D. Savoie about sundials an in it he says that in the Place de la Concorde in Paris it was drawn a sundial (an Oughtred sundialI suppose) based on the obelisk erected there. Does anybody know if the lines are still drawn or were they erased?      -
