Hi John,
As Steve Lelievre pointed out, analemmatic dials are not always
useful at lower latitudes near the summer solstice. A shadow plane
dial is also an interactive dial, but doesn't have this problem at
your latitude. Did you see the picture of the shadow plane sundial
installed in the

Excellent suggestion. I think you are referring to an interesting

Hi John,
Remember my talk at the NASS conference last year, "How Long is My Shadow"
In this presentation I described the Excel spreadsheet that I wrote as a
design tool for analematic sundials. For the defined location (latitude and
longitude), it calculates and plots the hour points on the anale
John,
The NASS site has some DeltaCad macros.
As regards how big to make the dial, I suspect that people size will not be
a meaningful starting point. In the extreme case, there is hardly any
shadow.
Your dial is S.Calif - say about 33 and a bit degrees N. At the Summer
solstice, the sun at noo
I've just noticed that picture number 19 on the Austrian Web site
(http://tirol-php.highway.telekom.at/k.schwarzinger/a_0680.htm)
is a sundial from 1985 that is identical to the type we have recently
been referring to as a Singleton sundial.
Which came first?

The Singleton thread has been dormant since last March, as far as I recall. It
proposed naming after him dials as described by John Singleton in the BSS
Bulletin of February 2000. John never claimed to have invented the idea, I
believe. Sara Schechner's definition was:

I'm afraid I haven't been following the Singleton thread. I'm sure Karl,
as the designer, could answer any question as to its lineage.
