The camber circle and ellipse is a required method to produce a hydrodynamic shape that has exactly one acre of real deck space while still including a functioning moon pool; and, be 6180 inches long.

152. The Astronomical Basis of Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... there yet; because there is another object which takes part in this celestial pageant, and this of course is the Sun. If we now look at the celestial sphere again, then of course everything appears to rotate in this manner: stars rotate as if they are blobs of paint on a sphere. We can now paint a special circle on the sphere, which we call the Ecliptic. We have to remember that as the sphere appears to rotate, so the ecliptic, being painted on to the sphere, will rotate with it. This particular line is the path of the Sun against the background of stars. It takes one year to make one revolution of this ...
153. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... history to this issue. In 1974 I had submitted an article to the editors of Pensée titled "Saturn: the Polar Night Sun." It included a brief note on the sign of the "enclosed sun." I received a letter of comment and criticism from Lynn Rose. In it he asked how I knew that the outer circle wasn't Saturn and the inner circle or dot something else? That was the very question that eventually became paramount. What does the famous symbol represent? In The Saturn Myth, I interpreted the sign in one way: it is a picture of the planet Saturn surrounded by a band. But if you place Venus in front of Saturn ...

155. Symbols of an Ancient Sky: Slide Presentation & Notes by David Talbott [Journals] [Aeon]
... for his thesis, demonstrating the archetypal mythical significance of each planet. "Always look for the irreducible form behind the symbol. It is the archetype that explains the symbols." (p . 101.) Thus, in places as far-flung as Scotland and Hawaii, Australia and Alaska, one encounters the same symbolic image- a small circle within a larger circle with one protruding shaft pointing downward from the bottom. Various mythic themes find an explanation in Talbott's scheme. For instance, why would the ancient sun god be said to have possessed a single central eye and why was this eye identified as the goddess? Why was this eye said to have carried an unborn hero ...
156. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the form of fire or charring. Although legends of magic stones are found in the folklore of many races, only the Jewish legends provide descriptions specific enough to identify the subject material as being radioactive. However, a BBCTV Nationwide programme (14th April 1983) included an item in which James Hogg visited the Rollright Stones, an ancient stone circle between the villages of Great and Little Rollright on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border. A man demonstrated that a Geiger counter recorded a significant reading inside the circle, especially near the centre and claimed that similar significant counts were found at many other stone circles in the United Kingdom. Taking his statement at face value, and assuming that the ...
... from above throughout heaven and earth-and there, at the middle of the light, they saw stretching from heaven the extremities of its chains; for this light binds the heavens, holding together all the revolving firmament like the undergirths of a ship of war. And from the extremities stretched the Spindle of Necessity, by means of which all the circles revolve." Cornford adds in a note: "It is disputed whether the bond holding the Universe together is simply the straight axial shaft or a circular band of light, suggested by the Milky Way [n1 Cf. O. Gruppe, Griechische Mythologie und Religionsgeschichte (1905), p. 1036, n.1 : " ...

... visiting are the Kilmartin area Cairns, extremely well-preserved Bronze Age round cairns. This one is called "Glebe Cairn"[?], as you can see, it's a substantial rubble mound although there are chambers at the far side of the mound which you can actually get into. There is a whole series of other cairns, stone circles and the like in that area. We are then going on to the Western Isles. The most famous site we will be visiting are the Callanish Standing Stones. You can see here that there is this central area, these extremely large flat slabs with a little tomb in the middle which is unique for stone circles in this country ...
159. The Rare and Roasted Phoenix: A View of Claude Levi-Strauss [Journals] [Kronos]
... telling counter-arguments from the Velikovskian camp. Butz that the results over the years have not been commensurate with the solidity of Velikovsky's arguments is doubtless a tacit commentary on the nature of orthodoxies in general, and scientific orthodoxy in particular. Notwithstanding, there is one major component of the contemporary intellectual climate that seems to have not been examined in Velikovskian circles to any great extent, namely, the structuralism of the French anthropologist, Claude Levi-Strauss, which represents a major, if oblique, challenge to any point of view which has a foundation that lies (if only in part) in the establishment of historical and cosmological fact through the comparative analysis of the content of myths from a wide ...
... blocked. This much only for the time being: a broader discussion of Iranian Zurvan would wreck our frame; we do not think, however, that Zurvan/Chronos represents a "Zoroastrian Dilemma"; to style it thus (with Zaehner) is one more mistake: it is not the "beliefs" and "religions" which circle around and fight each other restlessly; what changes is the celestial situation. 377 Appendix 13 Some say, he bid his angels turn askance The poles of earth, twice ten degrees and more From the sun's axle, they with labour pushed Oblique the centric globe: some say, the sun Was bid turn reins from the equinoctial road ...
