Subject: How old is your flag?

For anyone interested in knowing how old their U.S. flag might be
just count the number of stars, and be sure to do a textile and
construction analysis to verify the material is also of the period?
The "official" star/state count goes something like this:
#Stars Period of use
------ -------------
1) 13 1777 to 1795
2) 15 1795 to 1818
3) 20 1818 to 1819
4) 21 1819 to 1820
5) 23 1820 to 1822
6) 24 1822 to 1836
7) 25 1836 to 1837
8) 26 1837 to 1845
9) 27 1845 to 1846
10) 28 1846 to 1847
11) 29 1847 to 1848
12) 30 1848 to 1851
13) 31 1851 to 1858
14) 32 1858 to 1859
15) 33 1859 to 1861
16) 34 1861 to 1863
17) 35 1863 to 1865
18) 36 1865 to 1867
19) 37 1867 to 1877
20) 38 1877 to 1890
21) 43 1890 to 1891
22) 44 1891 to 1896
23) 45 1896 to 1908
24) 46 1908 to 1912
25) 48 1912 to 1959
26) 49 1959 to 1960
27) 50 1960 to now

Subject: Re: Better US FLAG
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 1993 01:30:23 GMT
Just so you want to get all the measurements right, a US flag should
be similar to the specifications set out by President Taft in 1912:
The width (hoist) / length (fly) ratio should be in the ratio of 1
to 1.9. The thirteen stripes at equal width. The hoist of the blue
field containing the stars fixed at 7/13 of the overall hoist,
extending from the top of the flag to the bottom of the seventh
stripe. The fly of the blue field was fixed at a tiny fraction over
3/4 fourths of the overall hoist. The diameter of each star is a
minute fraction under 1/16 of the overall hoist. So there!

Subject: Improved original US Flag
Message-ID: <199...@vax1.mankato.msus.edu>
From: (Jon Jeckell, Mankato State University, MN)
Date: 21 Nov 93 20:25:10 -0600
Here is my FINAL version of my US flag ascii (I didn't have enough
stars on the first, and this one has improved "whitening" of the
white stripes). Unless someone can tell me how to improve the
dimentions (proportion of the field to the rest of the flag), I'm
not changing it.
I WILL point out one slight flaw (which is present on my REAL flag
hanging in my room too), the top stripe is narrower than the rest,
but I don't see how I can correct that without totally distorting
the Union.

On radio 4's 'Enquire Within' someone asked why Wales was not
represented on the Union Flag. The reply was that the Cross of
St George was adopted as a national symbol by the Tudors, a
Welsh family, and hence it is the flag of Wales rather than
England. It's a lot easier to draw than the above beastie, but not
nearly so good looking. Anyhow the Union flag still has the cross
of Saint Patrick though the union with Ireland was dissolved in
1921, but not the red hand of Ulster. So we need a dragon, a red
hand, and two crosses. Or home rule for everyone.

I think that the more honest answer was that the union flag was made
by combining the flags of Scotland and England at the time of the
union of 1707.
Wales was not represented as it officialy did not exist. We were
conquered remember! The "Act of Union" incorporated Wales into
England, and although Wales retained some separate administative
stuctures and its own system of law courts it was regarded as a
province of England.
When Ireland was added to the union the cross of St Patrick was
added. Perhaps if they are serious about the UK being a union of
equal consenting nations they should look again at the flag?

There's a huge number of flags in the CorelDraw library. If someone
wants a flag collection they could do worse than to suck them into
giftoascii. Quite a few will probably look OK. Others will need
hand retouching, but at least you will have a good starting point.
According to a book I found, the UK flag does in fact have an
official aspect ratio, and also official ratios of stripe widths,
namely:
_ (technically the white part is flush with the left hand side)
|
| (likewise, on the right
| side the red stripe is
| flush with the right edge)
V

My apologies IN ADVANCE to the British people, their government,
and anglophiles everywhere! I gave it a shot though....
For instance, I know it is disproportionately long as opposed to
wide...
