Chesterfield dial

[John Moir]

I'm a newcomer to the group (and computers-Hope I press the right buttons! A recent Radio 3 prog gave details of a proposed 40 metre high, £350,000 "Solar driven Timepiece" to be erected near Chesterfield, U.K. A project spokesman said it would open at the "Summer Equinox", midsummer day, 2003. Weird!Even the Website www.solarpyramid.co.uk confuses the summer solstice with midsummer day, 24th June. The project designers are Richard Swain and Adam Walkden. Does anyone know about the project? . It's possible that the above errors were slips of pen and tongue, otherwise there might be some very red faces.Perhaps more enquiries should be made -we don't want another Dome on our hands.   John    John Moir 24 Woodcote Road Wanstead London E11 2QA      Tel 020 8989 2584
