Hello,
For a while I've had an interest in sundials, but never explored that
interest in any detail. I recently decided to study it more closely,
at least whatever web-based resources I could locate. It is certainly
a fascinating topic -- and for some a real hobby to collect and/or
build

Dear Peter Fred,
Many thanks for your information about this book. I had not realised
that a modern copy has or had been available. It seems from what you say

Hello Jon Noring,
I saw your message expressing an interest in sundials which show
standard time. There is a type of dial which uses unfolded
analemmas to give clock time without any physical manipulation of
parts of the sundial, or any need to switch dial plates twice a year.
As I recall
Thanks Fred

It uses two interchangeable specially shaped gnomons, one

Adjustment is required on four days
