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
say... The problem is that in some articles I have
seen the 'inclination'
defined in the opposite way, and I wanted to know
if there was some
philological reason in it. I wouldn't like to
deepen into it because I am
not philologist and maybe the thread could drift to
some awkward topic
quite away from sundials, you know what I
mean ;-)
Anyhow, I think it's desirable to have good
standarization rules, and
perhaps maybe somebody should complete the
excellent list of symbols
and terms made by the people at the BSS so as
to internationalize it.
(Did you know that in some countries, like France
and Spain, the equation
of time is defined just the opposite way
than in the USA and UK ?... Oh no, here
we are again!!! :-)))))
