I have converted my NASS 1999 presentation handout on the SunVial(tm) sundial into a single web page
http://www.celestialproducts.com/images/AboutSunVial.htm This will be upgraded at a later time with higher resolution images, ordering information, etc. Approximately 10 SunVial's were custom made in brass and glass and sold immediately. From that earlier model, changes in design are being formulated to improve contrast on the dial face and provide manufacturing simplification in the base mechanism. Once our newly converted web site is live (a few more days, so please come back to see our other publications and product line), we will begin add more content on SunVial's progress to production. NASS 1999 attendees will be receiving a dial face made to their latitude and longitude at some point in the future. This will have instructions for finishing a prototype dial but will require the indicated Pringles Potato Chip tube with a metal bottom. Start eating now! ---- I have not looked at my VHS tape or developed stills from the NASS Conference, but I will web post and/or provide Bob Terwilliger images/clips from the field trip to local sundials in Hartford, CT when I get freed from more pressing activities. In hindsight, I wish that I had taped the presentations. Perhaps we (a committee?) should make a concerted effort to tape, edit, and produce such a tape from future NASS meetings.
