fritz, thank you very much. I found, ordered the article and found it in my mail box in a few days. the article was informative. I am a newby Dialist and working on my own Helio chronometer. I have a question about the anelamma, does the shape of the anelamma ,in a Helio chronometer, vary with different locations as the horizontal dials do? Dave Scott

These must be the articles: "36. Telescope Making - A Precision Sundial of Bronze By Charles F. Avila | December 1994, p. 88 Order Original Issue 37. Telescope Making - Just How Accurate Can a Sundial Be? By Roger W. Sinnott | December 1994, p. 89 Order Original Issue" I was hoping to be able to view them here, but you have to order the entire back issue for $7.95. I actually just ordered it and there was no tax or shipping here in California. Seems great so far! Thanks for this info, Fritz ref. see this to order it: http://skyandtelescope.com/magazinearchive/search/results.asp?start_date_mon th=12&start_date_year=1994&end_date_month=12&end_date_year=1994&pos=26 - -
