Dear all,
I would like to draw your attention on Fabio's web on a new kind of
Stained Glass
Sundials. They are very smart, elegant and full of new possibilities.
Maybe there should
be a link to his web in the 'official' web.
Oh, by the way, I survived to the 'Gnomonics Course for Children' :-)
!! I'll tell you
later on how it went and I'll try to place some photos in our web...
Does anybody
know which is the best format file to convert DeltaCad drawings to place
them in
a web? Or perhaps is it preferably to place them as 'downloads'?
Best regards,
Anselmo Perez Serrada

I think there is another option.
You can built a bifilar sundial with a negative thread.
The negative thread is behind the dial so that it is inside and may be
drawen on the wall or on the floor. The outside thread casts a shadow
through the stained glass and the shadow will cross the negative thread
in a
point : the knot. The stained glass will be casted too and the hour will
be
shown by the knot on this projected dial.
The negative thread may be hanging too, in this case the knot will be the
cross of the shadows of the 2 threads.
With these bifilar dials the stained glass may correspond to a dial with
a
different declination regards to the wall or may be like an equinoctial
dial.
The bifilar dial may also have both the threads negative.
I have drawen some of these bifilar dials last year on the italian
mail-list. If someone is interested on them I can put the pictures on my
website or send them by e-mail.
I have no news about bifilar realized with negative thread.

Please, Fabio, place them on your (excellent) web! I am sure I am not
the only one interested in them!
