: Heliochronometer card
dials?
Gerard,
You could make a sheperd's dial. These are
location specific.
Attached is a picture of the scale for such a
dial with correction for longitude and equation of time.
It would be better if you make two, one for the
morning hours and one
Sunny Day!
This isn't a card dial but it is made of paper and might just get you to
lunch on time. It could work for the application that Gerard Hughes spoke
about. It can be adjusted for latitude, longitude and the equation of time.
Unfortunately it will only work for half the year.
It is an

Well, in the strict sense you are right, although there are historical
re-enactments that take place in time periods after time was

Hi Gerard,
I'd like the dial to read in mean time because initially I'd like to be

It's not qite chronometer accuracy, but feel free to use modify the time
scale in this card ring dial.
It was done in MS Word.
