I was also struck by the picture when I came across it in a PC Magazine.
The motto should be "Time and Tide Wait for Novell".
The picture in the magazine is clear enough to demand gnomonic analysis.
Assume the design is correct and determine:
1. Where is the beach?
2. When was this picture taken

Dear Clem,
Try just about any good scientific graphing software: SURFER, etc. There is
a range of names around, and I can't recall them. Some can be very
expensive, but will produce unbelievable results. Contact a university
bookshop and ask what they sell. Or try the ads in scientific journals s
Hi,
This is somewhat off topic but thought someone here would have a
suggestion. I'm looking for software to do some plotting of points -- lots
of points. On the order of thousands, or if possible, 100's of thousands.
Any ideas what products are out there that could do that?
thanks,
clem

Andrew, Many thanks for that response. It certainly will be worth getting
this colleague to look more closely in case there is some further text - or
even if any text has not yet been noticed. I would certainly appreciate
your getting in touch with your Classics man. That would be wonderful.

I was aware that this copy existed. I am actually only interested in
getting hold of information about the original, so my question still
stands - does anyone know where it is?

S= A + A^2 + A^3 + A^(B-1) + A^B
S/A =1 + A + A^2 + A^3 + A^(B-1)
(1 - 1/A)*S=A^B - 1
S= A*(A^B -1)/(A-1)
This is the formula you are after. It is frequently used in financial interest
calculations. Not sure where it comes into sundial design.

Help!
I'm working on an Excel spreadsheet and need a formula or function that
will give,
for an input A and B, the sum of all the powers of A for integers from
1 to B.
Example: 1.05 + 1.05 squared + 1.05 cubed ...
Can anyone help me?

I guess we get to call that "performance art."

Chris: Many thanks for replying. You have been a great help. I think that
we may be up against faulty Latin as well as an obscure inscription!
I shall try and find out more about the background to the erection of this
dial and get back.

It was chosen because the equinoctial dial is the fundamental sundial. It
was also different from the sundial insignia of the Scientific Instrument
Society.
I got junk mail that included a picture of an interesting design for a
sundial that certainly wouldn't survive for more than a hour or two. As
it was from Novell on their Netware 5.0 software I jumped onto the web to
their site to see if they had a picture of it I could share with the
list.
