          "text": "I thought that the Sun was a cylinder, like a florescent tube, running from\nend to end of the whorl (which I pictured as a hollow cylinder rotating with\nthe Sun at its axis).  The Shade I thought was essentially a curved plate,\nthe same length as the Sun.  The Shade would essentially be between half the\nSun and the Whorl at all times.\n\nTo do a technical drawing of it in words, uh, if you look at the end of the\nSun, the Sun would be a circle and the Shade a curved line running from\nmidnight to six o'clock one side (so, from 12 to 1, etc. to 6).  If you look\nat the Sun/Shade as Cargo (not Crew--I have no idea what that would look\nlike), if it's day, the Shade is a long, narrow, dark rectangle with a long,\nnarrower, light rectangle of the same length at its center.  Night would be\nrepresented (remember, I'm talking about a sort of technical drawing view,\nnot what Cargo would actually see) by the dark rectangle only. \n\nSince the Whorl is turning, the Shade could be set to be fixed in relation\nto the Whorl, but I don't know how what kind of day/night timing that would\nproduce.  Otherwise, it rotates at a rate other than that of the Whorl,\ntimed to produce roughly 12 hour periods of light and dark.\n\n(the subject line is play on the title of Frank Zappa's Zolar Czakl from his\nUncle Meat lp)\n\nBrian Lovely\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: urth-bounces at lists.urth.net [mailto:urth-bounces at lists.urth.net] On\nBehalf Of urth-request at lists.urth.net\nSent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 5:09 PM\nTo: urth at lists.urth.net\nSubject: Urth Digest, Vol 53, Issue 71\n\nSend Urth mailing list submissions to\n\turth at lists.urth.net\n\nTo subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit\n\thttp://lists.urth.net/listinfo.cgi/urth-urth.net\nor, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to\n\turth-request at lists.urth.net\n\nYou can reach the person managing the list at\n\turth-owner at lists.urth.net\n\nWhen replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific\nthan \"Re: Contents of Urth digest...\"\n\n\nToday's Topics:\n\n   1.
