Could you not, just as logically, ask why clocks, watches and normal sundials don't indicate directly the time left until midnight? Chris Lusby Taylor 51.4N, 1.3W
----- Original Message ----- From: Willy Leenders To: sundial List Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 11:36 AM Subject: Italian hours Italian hours are counted from sunset. One has to take its complement from 24 to know the time left until suntime. Why sundials with Italian hours do'nt indicate directly the result of this calculation? Is there a practical or historical reason?
