Colleen, You have probably received these recommendations already, but in case not........ The following two books have useful information for designing a vertical dial:
1. Albert E. Waugh, Sundials: Their Theory and Construction Dover Publications, 1973 2. Rene R. J. Rohr, Sundials: History, Theory, and Practice Dover Publications, 1970 I find the first one to be the simpler, more straightforward of the two.
