Introduction Much of the basic information at this site is on this main page, however, there are links to text and graphics on separate pages that provide additional detail. On each of these supporting pages, the first available link will usually take you back to where you left this main page, or at least back to the following Table of Contents. There may be a few suppliers out there who still have a few copies, but I am out. The new version will not appear before about February 2002, however.

Below are some examples showing portions of a building with corrugated siding illuminated by oblique direct sunlight.

A preliminary PDF version of Scheimpflug's 1904 British Patent added 15 Feb 2000 and last revised 20Feb. One link was added on the More on Photography page on 9 Oct 1999.
