Re: Brief explanation/derivation for Horizontal-Dial's declination-lines?

2019-11-15 Thread Michael Ossipoff
I'll check it out. I suspect that there's no way that the declination-lines for a Horizontal Dial can be anything like as brief as that for the Polar and Tube Dials, because the horizontal surface, though convenient for building the dial, lacks any of the orientation-convenience of the Polar and

Brief explanation/derivation for Horizontal-Dial's declination-lines?

2019-11-15 Thread Michael Ossipoff
Is there an easy explanation/derivation for the solar-declination lines on a Horizontal-Dial? I mean, easiness comparable to that of the declination-lines for a Polar-Dial or a Tube-Dial (Circumference-Aperature Cylindrical-Equatorial Dial)? . The explanation for the Horizontal-Dial's hour-lines
