FEVRIER Charles, "Horloge, Pendules et cadrans solaires de Saint-Ursanne". (Tower clocks and and sundials of Saint-Ursanne). Most of the article is devoted to mechanical clocks. Two sundials in Saint-Ursanne are mentioned, there was one shown in an engraving of the town in 1560 which served to regulate the clock. There is a painted dial under the Collegiate clock dial, it is painted dark green and was restored by Jean-Baptiste Boillotat in 1845, and is now signed 'J B B 1845'. At the top is a radiant sun flanked by two crescent moons. The second dial on the Collegiate building is a canonical dial (appears to be two separate dials), evidently the sole example of this kind in Switzerland, and no mention of it had been made before. Chronometrophilia, No 11, pages 78-91, Winter 1981.
FEVRIER Charles, "Un cadran solaire monumental". (A monumental Sundial). The article illustrates and describes the polyhedran sundial at the abbey of Saint Maurice in the Valais Canton. It is a comprehensive analysis of the design of the sundial, unfortunately the date of its construction is, as the name of its maker, unknown. The stone from which the dial is made is identical with the rock in the surrounding region. The dial is designed for the latitude of 46° 13' North, the latitude of St Maurice. The date is given as between the end of the 17th to the end of the 18th century. The pillar on which the dial was placed has disappeared. Chronometrophilia, No 10, pages 60-80, Summer 1981.

FEVRIER Charles, "Les cadrans solaires de Rovio". (The sundials of Rovio). The little village of Rovio lies at the foot of Mount Sant' Agata. A number of sundials are described, some show the 'Hours of Rovio' or astronomical hours, several still have their horizontal iron gnomons, in fact for one dial this is the only part left.

Charles Février was born in 1907 at Porrentruy and was strongly influenced by his father, horologist and teacher. After his pharmaceutical studies in Basle, he obtained a Science Doctorate. He learnt the Swiss German dialect and the Tessinois of Mendrisiotto, and it was in this region that he had his first contacts with gnomonics. He had the good fortune of knowing all the great names in horology and through these many contacts he became a specialist in the history of dialling. An appreciation of Dr Février in both French and German texts is given in: Chronometrophilia, No 13, page 10, Summer 1983.

FIELD J V. and WRIGHT M T. Gears from the Byzantines: A Portable Sundial with Calendrical Gearing. A prior publication of the material indicated in the next entry but on a more technical level. Dating was achieved from the place names included in the latitude table, by the style of the planetary gods used to identify the days of the week and the style of the script. Published in the Annals of Science, Volume 42, pages 87-138; received from authors 20 July 1984, printed 1985; also published together with an article "Al-Birini's Mechanical Calendar" by Donald R Hill in the same issue under the above title as a separate publication by the Science Museum, South Kensington. London 1985.
FIELD J V. and WRIGHT M T. Early Gearing - Geared Mechanisms in the Ancient World. This work resulted from the chance bringing of the fragments of a Byzantine sundial-calendar to the Science Museum by a visitor in 1983. It was identified by the name 'Constantinople', introduced in AD 328, on the largest fragment. Further tests show the instrument was very likely made between AD 480 and AD 560, either in or just before the reign of the Emperor Justinian I. London 1985.
