I can't find an image on the internet, of a Circumference-Aperture Cylinder-Equatorial dial, but I'm going to post a drawing of one. By the way, I use a broad definition of Equatorial Dial. Instead of only dials with a dial-face parallel to the equator, I include all dials that directly measure

Hi-- I'll look for some images of Circumference-Aperture Cylinder-Equatorials.and Cone-Equatorials. It can be shown that the light-spot projected by the circumference-aperture moves around the inside of the cylinder at a uniform rate that's twice the rate at which an axial-gnomon's shadow would
