So what have you all against one of the most delightful correlations
ever devised by human reasoning,this small article is fine for
proposing the only acceptable value which links clocks to axial
rotation.

If the link works then fine,if not,then there are plenty of different
way to appreciate the magnificent achievement where the ancient
Equation of Time correction which creates the 24 hour day was given a
new twist by the great Western astronomers when axial rotation was
discovered.

It would be wonderful if there were archaeologists here but apparently
there are none,only cardboard cutout props used to support idiotic
conceptions.

Not a bad book for 1837.

You should refer to page 28.

The Total length of the daily cycle varies hence the neccessity of the
Equation of Time to equalise the variations to equable 24 hours and
keep those 24 hours seamlessly elapsing into the next 24 hours.That
author in 1837 unfortunately observes (on page 50 ) that the Sun
appears to travel at 15 degrees per hour but this is incorrect,if it
did there would be no need for the Equation of Time.

The author ,after correctly telling his readers on page 51 that you
need to apply the Equation of Time to correlate clock time with civil
longitudes in terms of 24 hour/360 degrees , as the natural day is
unequal,tells his readers on page 28 that a location rotates to the
Sun in exactly 24 hours.

If you have difficulties accepting that the length of the natural
cycle is unequal and that the Equation of Time is neccessity to reduce
natural noon to 24 hour clock noon,then why refer me to page 28 which
determines that the Sun returns to a meridian in exactly 24 hours -

Have you not heard of the Longitude story or how sundials and the
Equation of Time works to create the human devised principle of the 24
hour day ?,obviously not.

Who would ever have thought that archaeologists,at least I think you
are archaeologists,would try to manufacture a history that overturns
the basic correlation between sundials,the Equation of Time and the 24
hour day and how it was transfered to the clock/axial rotation at 15
degrees per hour making 24 hours in total.

Tell me what your sidereal value gives for the correlation of clocks
and axial rotation per hour ?.That is how ridiculous you are with the
most basic known fact.
