In relation to the recent question/replies, regarding detecting/correcting
'errors' in the setting of sundials - is there any feasible way of varying
the layout of an "Analemmatic" dial, to cope with it being on a GRADIENT ?
My own thinking is that this is just NOT possible, if the dial has to t

If your travels take you anywhere close to LARNE, (on the North-East coast
of 'Northern Ireland') - then visit the nearby "Carnfunnock Country Park".

Can anyone give me a list of which USA States (or part-States), do NOT use
Daylight-Saving Time - e.g. Arizona doesn't, but which others also don't ?
Similarly, can anyone tell me what parts of Australia do NOT use Daylight-

By some chance, does any member of this Mailing List know either an E-mail
address (or a web-site URL), or even just a contact Telephone number - for
"Sunclocks" at: 21 Evans Street, Moruya, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA 2537 ?

Our business (Modern Sunclocks) has been contacted by a lady in France who
is currently writing a book on Sundials - and she is attempting to trace a
former business called "Sundials" who were based in Taunton, Somerset, UK.
Apparently, the business was run by a person named Mr. A. (perhaps Andr
Does anyone know whether there are members of this "Sundial Mailing List",
in Turkey (Istanbul area) - or maybe sundial enthusiasts, in that region ?

Until now, I have not "risen to the bait" - choosing to ignore any remarks
which appeared to be questioning the alleged 'secrecy' of my business, its
volume of sales, or the level of 'customer satisfaction' which we achieve.
This response, now, is not directed at any particular person - but is j

Our sundial business regularly receives questions via our Website, (mainly
from pupils wanting us to help with school projects) - but I am forwarding
this one to the "Sundial Mailing List", as it is more unusual than normal.

Are there any members of this Mailing List who are located in (or near to)
Houston, Texas - and would be willing to visit the "Thomas R. Wussow Park"
in order to give an independent opinion on an 'analemmatic' layout there ?
It was as a result of the "Wussow Park" sundial, that earlier this year
