Nederlands: De zonnecyclus en de zondagsletter op de Jubelklok van de Zimmertoren. De Zimmertoren is een toren in Lier, België, genoemd naar uurwerkmaker Louis Zimmer, en is het resultaat van het verbouwen van de middeleeuwse Corneliustoren die een deel was van de eerste omwalling rond de stad. In 1928 schonk Zimmer aan de stad Lier een uurwerkmechanisme (de Jubelklok) dat diverse tijden en kosmische en andere periodieke verschijnselen aangeeft. Er werd besloten dit uurwerk onder te brengen in de bouwvallige Corneliustoren, die daartoe werd verbouwd en gerestaureerd en sindsdien Zimmertoren wordt genoemd. 2008 is het jaar 1 van de cyclus, terwijl 2007 het jaar 28 van de cyclus is. 2006 is bijvoorbeeld het jaar 27 van de cyclus.
