Hi Frank,
Thanks for the Gnomon Gap Puzzle. Learnt a lot from it. That is what makes
sundials interesting. Always something new to learn.
Great for the northern hemisphere. Does the book include a printout for the
southern hemisphere?

Many thanks for your seal of approval...

In the recent spate of messages, both Bill Gottesman and Steve Lelievre were
very close. Bill is the only person to suggest an azimuthal dial with

Happy New Year, Frank,
How about a T-shaped dial consisting of a vertical east dial backed by a
vertical west dial and sharing a solid sloping roof whose edges act as the
