While walking...well....shuffling really...across a Columbia River bridge with Larry McDavid before the recent NASS Conference in Portland we were brought to a halt by a centre span lifting to allow a ship to pass through. In the few minutes pause my attention wandered to the structural steelwork which had a lustrous metallic finish which I think was the result of 'metal spraying' with a sacrificial zinc alloy perhaps? The shadows of my fingers showed up very clearly on the 'grainy' surface and it occurred to me that this might be a very durable finish on a extra-strong steel dial outdoors. Vitae Lampada for that idea I guess. Tony Moss --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
