Dear John,

Many thanks for your seal of approval...

> Bravo - two quarters of a double horizontal dial!

A fair summary, but note that it doesn't suffer from
the knife-edge gnomon bug that most double horizontal
dials suffer from.  Fancy going wrong at noon of all
times of day.  Grrr!

The latest Compendium comes with an insert in which
you can see Steve Lelievre and me, at either end of
a piece of string, demonstrating the failings of a
large knife-edge gnomon near Pittsburgh.  This dial
is in a burial ground so, maybe, it is trying to be
some kind of metaphor?

Very best wishes

Frank
