Those of you who are not familiar with the beautiful Schmoyer Sunquest should see this NASS page:

Waugh's book (1973) discusses the dial, but gives no dates. Apparantly Frank Cousin's book (1968) mentions it, but I do not have a copy. I was hoping someone on the list might be able to tell me what it says. I have a drawing that was sent out with the recastings sold at the NASS convention in 1999 dated 1958, but that does not tell me when the dials became available publicly. Can any one contribute to this? Bill Gottesman - -
