Dear Fernado, Thomas Fale would have said : yes, yes, yes, use stile. Have a look in his book Horologiographia, The Art of Dialling ( with double l ) London 1593. He uses stile and substile all over in his book. Happy dyalling, ( as written by John Blagrave in The Art of Dyalling, 1609 ) Fer. -- Fer J. de Vries [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iaehv.nl/users/ferdv/ lat. 51:30 N long. 5:30 E
