I have not seen this design before. I like it and I think the
public will too. I think it would be useful. -Bill

Dear Sundial Friends,
I have been in contact with a man, Boris Kostov, in Bulgaria
whose father has made what he believes to be a unique sundial.
He has tried to contact this mailing list but has so far been
unsuccessful, so has asked me to forward the information. See
attached pictures.
Basically it is a fairly standard design of dial but the
innovation is to add the Equation of Time to the gnomon so that
when a finger is positioned such that its shadow falls on the
central line of the hour scale, it is pointing at today's figure
for EoT correction.
He believes that this idea is new and solicits our opinions.
If you have ever seen such a method before or wish to
comment, please contact Boris Kostov, silveriu...@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike Cowham.
