Amongst the many other things which were utterly unknown to me
were 18th century clocks which incorporated Equation of Time 'kidneys'

Dear Jim,
Thanks for the reference. I took a copy out of our library the other day.
Amongst the many other things which were utterly unknown to me were 18th century
clocks which incorporated Equation of Time 'kidneys' so that they could read

I just ran across this photoset today.
Along the same lines as the Prague clock, and reminds me of Jim's
beautiful astrolabes...

I found a review of "Geared to the Stars" online, and it looks like a

nearby library with a copy. I hope to go there soon to take a look.
Thanks for calling this to my attention. Many people have built
