Dear Linda, I have a telephone number but not an email for Brian Main (contact me off-list). I believe that the dial was made to a design from Modern Sunclocks. The two rings of hour numbers are for GMT and BST (give or take the EoT correction). Otherwise, it is a standard analemmatic dial. Regards, John -----------------------------------------

To: sundial@uni-koeln.de Date: Sunday, 22 April, 2012, 13:18 This might be a bit of a "long shot", but does anyone on this Mailing List have contact details for Brian Main - and whom I understand was the person responsible for this 'analemmatic' sundial layout, at Port Sunlight (UK) ? I am a mosaic artist, and recently visited "Lady Lever Art Gallery" (which is the building shown in the background, of this picture). There does not seem to be any plaque or similar details near to this sundial itself - but when I asked at the Gallery, they said it was someone named Brian Main who had been in charge of co-ordinating installation, of this 'Human Sundial'. I even asked a few local people - but nobody seemed to know anything about it, and they were not exactly sure how it works, or why there are two rows of numbers. If anyone has some more information, I will be very grateful. Yours sincerely, Linda Reid. -- -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
