Thanks Thibaud & Bruno for the new photo links.
And here is another photo on Plate 13: http://books.google.com/books?id=lF9E-1_XsVQC <http://books.google.com/books?id=lF9E-1_XsVQC&pg=PA104-IA5&lpg=PA104-IA5&dq =%22little+village+academy%22+sundial&source=web&ots=eiViyMMbVK&sig=XQT_5G8Q bvptlj8W_rsUUXdssHg> &pg=PA104-IA5&lpg=PA104-IA5&dq=%22little+village+academy%22+sundial&source=w eb&ots=eiViyMMbVK&sig=XQT_5G8Qbvptlj8W_rsUUXdssHg and here: http://www.aia.org/aiarchitect/thisweek02/tw0118/0118tw2architecture.htm All of these photos are taken at extreme angles. Following Roger's suggestion, I tried to alter the perspective in Photoshop so that we could see the dial from a straight-on perspective, but they are so skewed that I was not able to correct them. Do we know of any NASS members in Chicago who might be willing to go to the school to try to get better photos & measurements? Looking at the Aerial photo that Bruno sent, it does appear that the sloped glass skylight has a significant slope. But I'm still not ready to concede that the dial is not flawed because the hourlines still look equally spaced in all photos. But I might have to eat my words! Happy New Year Everybody!

This kind of defeats our guess at the latitude! The architects show many striking designs at their site, www.rbjarchitects.com <http://www.rbjarchitects.com/> I have sent an inquiry about the sundial.
