Talk:Strasbourg astronomical clock

[Untitled]
The second clock referred to here must be the one referred to by John Locke in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding? Should there not be a reference to Locke?

A useful reference
A useful reference for this clock is the monograph, The Astronomical Clock of the Cathedral of Strasbourg, by Charles Ungerer and Leon Leclerc (in English, translator not given). Published by Societe d'Edition de la Basse-Alsace, Strasbourg, 1962. I bought a copy many years ago from the souvenir seller located, at the time, directly in front of this famous clock, thus blocking my appreciation of its lower details, alas. The booklet will give many more details about the clock and its maker.

The clock now strikes at "half past midday" or thereabouts, as Strasbourg, like the rest of France, is on continental time, which is set to 15 degrees east longitude. Strasbourg is 7 degrees, 45 minutes east of Greenwich, which means that noon in Strasbourg is 31 minutes past civil noon. Which is to say, the third clock, like its two predecessors, still strikes at noon, local time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.3.151.239 (talk) 19:26, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
