Hi Dan:

Don't know the answer to your question but have a comment.

The dial itself doesn't appear to have a built in correction for the EOT, i.e. the correction comes from the adjacent instruction bulletin board. This allows changing the instructions to account for year to year variations like leap year or leap seconds. If that's the case then I don't think it's fair to say the dial is that accurate, you could say the dial plus the correction table is that accurate.

Dials like the Schmoyer or direct reading equatorial have the EOT and longitude 
corrections built in.
