They appeared to use a small concrete paver, engraved the radii and circle somehow (while I was elsewhere channel surfing), then glued in a brass triangle and sat it on top of a gaudy plinth. I don't know whether its purpose is functional or merely decorative. -- John Savage (news address invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

Unless of course you happen to live at -45° I can't remember if they made a comment that it must also be pointed true north....... Regards, Mitchell |
