Re: BSS Bulletin
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.

Re: Fw: BSS Bulletin
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.

Capuchin sundial --earliest name use
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?

RE: BSS Bulletin
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.

Re: Fwd: Re: BSS Bulletin
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! Frank --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
Re: Fwd: Re: BSS Bulletin
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!
