Peter,
You could of course buy a modern wrist-watch featuring equation of time
and using a similar 'kidney' cam ... Blancpain and Audemars and perhaps
others make them, but the Diallist's Companion is considerably cheaper!

<snip> Amongst the many other things which were utterly unknown to me
were 18th century clocks which incorporated Equation of Time 'kidneys'
so that they could read sundial time! Is the Dialist's Companion the
only contemporary equivalent?
