I look forward to seeing this article and the design of your volvelle!

What I would be ideal for me would be a portable device that would align with 
the sun (azimuth) and read off the time for the date at that location. If the 
altitude is measured too, I believe the date would be inferred too. Finding the 
orientation of the meridian is a problem if this device is frequently moved.

Have you seen this? http://www.dickkoolish.com/rmk_page/suncalc.html
