Dear Friends, I received a very interesting message from George McDowell, in which he may have resolved the problem with the translation of the German text surrounding the hand dial.
Since the message is somewhat German-language specific and off-topic, I have appended his message to the Web page rather than posting it here. http://www.shadow.net/~bobt/handdial/translat.htm I hope the original translators, Mssrs. Negele, Wedemeyer, and Carlson will offer their opinion. The page includes a link to the page with the original woodcut. Best regards, Bob Terwilliger
