It seems that I sent this twice to Karlheinz Schaldach, but not to the list.
Dear Karlheinz, > T. W. Cole, who wrote Origin and use of Church Scratch Dials, London 1935, > which is only one of his publications. There are more publications by him. From different sources I compiled: Cole, T. W. The Origin and use of Scratch-Dials (London, 1935), reprinted 2001 Cole, T. W. Classification of church scratch-dials. 1935 COLE, T. W. Scratch-dials and medieval sun-dials. History and relation to scientific sundials. (Stratford St. Andrew, 1938 Cole, T. W. Scratch dials or medieval sundials : supplementary list to the list given in "Origin and use of church scratch-dials". Stratford St. Andrew, Saxmundham : [Privately published 1945] Cole, T. W. Church Sundials in Medieval England: Reginald Taylor Prize Essay 1945. 1947 (Also cited as: Cole, T. W. Church sundials in medieval England. Brit. Archaeol. Assoc. Jour. for 1945-7, 3rd ser. X (1948) 77-80. [Reginald Taylor Prize Essay, 1945. Summarised by A. J. Hatley.]) Perhaps this publication in Brit. Archaeol. Assoc. Jour. contains some biographical information, because it is related to a prize. Two more findings: David A. King, George Saliba: From deferent to equant: a volume of studies in the history of science in the ancient and medieval Near East in honor of E.S. Kennedy. 1987, p. 138: "These wall dials, often called scratch dials, are described in Zinner, 1964, and in a series of three pamphlets published privately by T W. Cole ..." Norfolk Archaeology, Or, Miscellaneous Tracts Relating to the Antiquities of the County of Norfolk, Vol. 25, 1935, p. 452: "Mr. T. W. Cole, of London, is making an effort to record and classify the primitive sundials, or scratch dials, on churches: hitherto the recognition of the subject seems to have been general rather than exact. Mr. Cole has published an interim list, ..." I could not find his first name(s). Best regards, Wolfgang Gesendet: Donnerstag, 06. April 2017 um 08:36 Uhr Von: "Karlheinz Schaldach" <karlheinz_schald...@t-online.de> An: sundial@uni-koeln.de Betreff: Spackman, Green, and Cole Dear gnomonists, I am seeking for informations on Henry Spencer Spackman, who rote The timepiece of shadows: a history of the sundial.
