Hi Sara, Your idea of writing up the Wellesley College dial is a good one - I for one would like to know the full story and read your experiences. The replica dial isn't a bad attempt (other than that awful gnomon!) and appears to have been hand engraved. But the details of the Equation of Time scale are missing and the half-hour fleur-de-lys don't have the shape I would expect for a Cole dial. Do you know if the original dial plate still exists? Best regards, John ----------------------------

I have been thinking of writing this up with the Team for the NASS Compendium as a short article on how to approach a dial found in the field. Would that be of interest to others?
