Hello,
Members of this list will I am sure be delighted to
know that BSS President and Britain's prolific sundial
designer, Christopher Daniel MBE, has now placed on his
new website a collection of nearly 170 photographs
covering his life in dialling, his dials, their
construction, their installation, the restoration of other
dials and much other related material never before
gathered together like this.
There are several other images and much descriptive
text still to be added which those who care to come back
to the site in the coming weeks will be able to see.
Christopher has also recently deposited his extensive
archive of working drawings and designs - all 71 boxes of
them! - with the National Watch and Clock Museum in
Columbia PA, USA where it will shortly be available to
researchers.
Those interested to see Christopher's website and his
Collection may find it via a link from the popular English
language Sundial Information and comment web site "SunInfo"
at:
or directly by going to:
At either of these addresses the collection may be
viewed individually or as a slideshow. I hope you will
agree with me that the Collection forms a remarkable study
of the life and times of a remarkable man.
