What's your source for the edits you made to Strasbourg Cathedral? --Mathew5000 21:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I have made several changes: for the years 1816 and 1821, they can be found in Schwilgue's biography by his son (1857 and 1858). Figure 22 represents Sydney's model which I have seen and which also appears somewhere on the web.

For the other stuff, like involving Herlin, and the interruption in the construction, it can be found in

 Alfred Ungerer and Théodore Ungerer : L'horloge astronomique de
   la cathédrale de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, 1922.

which is the basic reference on clock. There is another book

 Henri Bach, Jean-Pierre Rieb (and contributions by Robert Wilhelm) :
  Les trois horloges astronomiques de la cathédrale de Strasbourg,
  1992 (also in German)

which has more or less the same information, although its pictures are of course better, and it tells more about the second clock (Dasypodius-Herlin-Habrecht, etc.).
