Hi Peter,

A descriptive name which is sometimes attached to dials like this is 'analemmic', i.e. it has analemmas instead of hour lines but it is not an analemmatic dial.


Regards,

John

Subject: Does this type of dial have a name?

Hi,
A friend recently returned from Port Augusta and sent me photos of a dial in the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden (attached). The Garden describes it as a 'Projection Dial', but clearly that isn't a unique name for this form of sundial with EOT corrections for each hour. The earliest example I've seen described is the vertical dial by Père Ildephonse at the Convent Cimiez-Sur-Nice (the illustration is from Cousins' Sundials which dates from c. 1876. Is this the earliest example of such a dial? And, again: does it have a unique name?
best wishes,
Peter
