Re: Foster-Lambert dial
Hi Frans Yes, I lost the bet. There are three Foster Lambert dials that have been constructed, including Mac's that have been mentioned. But I don't recall anything about a case of wisky if I lost my bet! I might buy you a couple of beers though see you in Oxford John John L. Carmichael Jr. 925 E.

Re: Foster-Lambert dial
Hi John, You are right saying "Wow, that's neat Mac", because it is a beautifull peace Mac made of the Foster Lambert sundial with EoT correction. But it isn't the first example ever made as you bet. Such a dial was constructed by Thijs de Vries, Netherlands, around 1978 but not so beautiful as Mac's. No doubt Mac will point to this in his article for Compendium. Best wishes, Fer.

Re: Foster-Lambert dial
Wow, that's neat Mac. I never thought anybody would actually get around to building one. I bet it's the first Foster-Lambert dial ever constructed since It's got a face only a true dialist could love (or understand)! It's nice to see how you always seem to tackle those odd theoretical dial types we often see in the Compendium and make them into actual working dials. I still have on my workbench the little interactive string shadow plane dial that you gave us all at the conference in Hartford. John John L. Carmichael Jr. 925 E.

Foster-Lambert dial
15 Nov 2003 Hello friends... After six months of months of research, design, and construction (yes, I work slowly ), my Foster-Lambert sundial saw the Sun for the first time on 9 Nov 2003. The central white disk holding the hour points measures 24 inches in diameter. I've posted a montage of four small pictures at http://www.sover.net/~oglesby/Foster-Lambert/ I you click on the filename F-L photos 9Nov03.jpg (not on the icon), it should open for you. Please let me know (off list) if you have difficulty viewing the file. I'm planning to submit an article about this dial to The Compendium, giving details of the design and construction, along with a better photo. Best wishes, Mac Oglesby -
