>Dear Mr. Stramm
>A friend of mine is trying to find further details on Viking Weather
>measuring equipment and also Viking navigational equipment. In particular he
>is looking for:-
>1) 10th - 11th Century or earlier Viking weather vanes
>2) Circular bearing dials
>3) Sunstone (Solstein) using cordierite (or iolite) to locate the sun under
>total cloud conditions
>4) Any other instruments used for navigation in the period 600 - 1200 AD
>
>This friend makes these sorts of equipment and he has been asked to provide
>instruments for the re-enactment of Lief Erricsson's journey of discovery to
>America in about 850 AD
>I realise that this is not your line but I thought it worth asking you about
>it in case you could point me to any other sources of information. Any
>suggestions would be very gratefully received.

>I look forward to your kind reply,
