Hi Tracy,
The date scale should be on the N-S centreline of the
elliptical dial (i.e. the minor axis of the ellipse). The position of the 12
noon point is irrelevant.
3 feet by 10 feet is a big scale. How big is the
dial?
Regards
Chris

Hello everyone!
Thank you all for the help you gave me previously
regarding "finding true north." I am now going to be pouring concrete for the
date scale in my ananemmatic sundial. I am making the concrete pad 3 feet wide
and 10 feet long. I have one question: do I lay out the center line of
the scale on the N-S axis, or do I lay it out on the 12:00 noon axis? The
noon hour on the sundial is 10 inches off the N-S line. I appreciate your
help. Thank you.
Tracy
