Hi John,
I still have some doubts about the praticality of constructing vertical
wall dials
Hi John, hi all,
latitude restrictions on vertical wall dials

Hello Fer and others:
Thanks for checking my concusions, but I think I made a mistake. Would
you
look again closely at this statement I made. Now that I think about it I
think it is wrong because I got the seasons backwards
Hello All,
I've been wondering what latitude restrictions there are on vertical wall
dials?
I've thought about it and here are my conclusions. Are my conclusions
correct?
1. If a vertical wall sundial is on the equator and
A) If it is on a southern wall, it will function from spring
