"Le Nocturlabe" by Edmond Guyot - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1956 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in French.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"Quand on etudie les instruments anciens servant a la determination de l'heure, on constate que a la plupart d'entre eux etaient utilisables de jour seulement. Ainsi tous les cadrans solaires depuis le simple gnomon vertical portant ombre sur un plan horizontal jusqu'aux cadrans les plus compliques en passant par toutes les varietes telles que la montre des bergers, le cadran en forme de jambon, etc., ne donnaient l'heure que lorsque le soleil etait leve."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

The article is approximately 4 1/2 pages in length (on 3 sheets of paper).

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
