civil time and polar dials

[Ed Olander]

As a beginner to the fascinating study of gnomonics, let me say first of all that it was especially rewarding to discover that a list such as this exists, whereby novices such as myself may consult with professionals and folks of all levels on matters of our mutual interests in dialing. So thanks in advance to any who might be able to answer my question. On a properly designed and aligned polar dial, is it possible to adjust for EOT and longitude correction by rotating the dialplate along the axis of its gnomon, or is this type of correction only effective on equiangular dials, such as the equatorial? Will this technique work on horizontal dials as well? Again, my thanks in advance for guidance with my simplistic question.
