Hi all,

After sending my last email. I thought I should have 1st searched the Internet 
before sending it:

Note: scroll down to the larger photo.

Looks as if the outer EOT ring can be adjusted (turned) to have the current EOT 
month at the top 12 o’clock position. And there are other “sun” information, 
what I’m not sure.

By the way ChiLan, I think your time scale is the wrong way around. “+” should 
be “-“ and “-“ should be “+”.

Hi ChiLian and Robert,

Thanks ChiLan, your EOT curve is interesting. I suppose anything to do with 
sundials has a high chance of being invented before as sundials have been 
around for a long time. 

Robert, the kidney shape cam in the watch is interesting, is this watch still 
in production and can it be purchased. I’ve never seen a watch with EOT 
indication.

Thanks,

Roderick Wall.

The equation graph projected on a circle is used as a "kidney piece" cam in a 
watch movement that can indicate the equation.

 

Here is a picture of the gear carrying the kidney piece. It turns once a year.

Hi,

I figured out a way to plot EoT curve which I didn't see in sundial books I 
own. 
Diagram is enclosed here.

For a better resolution one, see

Best regards,
