Dear Frans, Thank you for posting the pictures and information on the Genk Sundial park in Belgium. I would like to mention that the park is more than just 12 dials. Each of the 12 designs takes a design "one step further". For example, the "Analemmatische zonnewijzer" uses the same gnomon ( a person standing on the month mark) for two analemmic dials - one of which is circular like G.E.Taylor's famous circular sundial.
I do have a question about the #7. "Bifilaire zonnewijzer". One picture shows a curved chain and another shows a straight wire between two posts. In either case, I did not understand how it was "bifilar" in nature. Thanks for posting - Warren Thom (41.649 N 88.096 W) "Frans W.
