Dear John, I like your story about the times quoted by the Darwin control tower.
In some of my introductory talks about sundials I mention Unequal Hours, Babylonian Hours, Italian Hours and so on. Just when the audience thinks this is offering more choice than they can cope with, I explain that things are little better when you use clock time. Your story illustrates this nicely AND also illustrates the use of different levels of precision. I may plagiarise this next time I give such a talk! All the best Frank --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
