Summary

[edit]
Description

Bettini method (1660) The JesuitMario Bettini penned a method which was posthumously published in the book Recreationum Mathematicarum Apiaria Novissima 1660.

  • Draw the gnonomic triangle with the hypotenuse against the meridian line, and φ to the bottom, C. The other point call M, the right angle call G.
  • A horizontal line is drawn through M, this is the equinoctial
  • A circle centred an M with a radius MG is drawn. G2 and G3 are the intersections of the circle and meridian.
  • In the top quadrants, points are marked each 30°. Two are named P, Q.
  • Construction lines are drawn from G2 and G3 through P and Q- the intersections with the equinoctial are marked.
  • To finish the hourlines are drawn through these points from C, and the dial squared off.
The afternoon dial is a reflection of this
