Steve,

Each week they do a quote from some obscure publication with a few words 
blocked out for the teams to guess what the missing words are.
This week they used the BSS Bulletin.
Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a repeat scheduled, but you should be able to 
see it in BBC iPlayer.
It’s the one with Kirsty Young as the host.

Thanks Mike,

Unfortunately the BBC iplayer doesn't work here in Canada; it's 
something to do with copyright and broadcast licencing. There's a 
digital lock built in to the iplayer so that it won't work with Canadian 
IP addresses (or most other countries). It would be possible to 
circumvent the software lock, but our criminal code forbids that.


Ah well.

Steve

Capuchin sundial --earliest name use

2014-05-24 Thread Schechner, Sara
Dear All,
I am searching for the earliest use of the name, Capuchin dial, to describe a 
particular form of rectilinear dial.

The class of altitude /rectilinear dials also includes the Regiomontanus dial 
and navicula.  The earliest published projection of the Capuchin dial I know is 
in the works of Sebastian Munster in the 1530s, but he does not call it by that 
name.   At some point it came to be known by the Capuchin name because when 
turned upside down the project resembles the hood of a Capuchin monk.

So when before 1800 did this naming convention happen?

I've distributed over 80 past copies to newly qualified teachers over the past 
couple of months and one item of discussion is why this has not been on HIGNFY, 
so I wondered if it is one of them that have passed on details.

For info the text in the programme was a slight misquote from my article in the 
Sept 2013 issue entitled the sundials of Robert Palmer, Schoolmaster. It also 
showed tbe photo in fig 5 of the article.

Dear Dennis,

You note:

 It also showed the photo in fig 5 of
 the article.

Indeed so, and they drew attention to
the clock on the building behind the
empty pedestal, adding words to the
effect that:

  Even with the sundial missing
  experts can still tell the time.

Maybe but, I suspect, not with that
clock.  It looks as though it has
been stopped at 12.

Perhaps you can confirm one way or
another!

Kirkbean is clearly a challenging
place to tell the time unless you
bring along your own equipment!

Dear Frank

I can indeed confirm that the clock was stopped at 12.  I took the photo at 
09.55am.  The church on which the clock is mounted had recently been sold 
and I expect that the new owners has not yet appointed a Keeper of the 
Clock!
