Hi, all diallists ! Writing from France (this to please you excusing my "under-basic English" !:-)), I have the same problem than Alexei Pace :
I'm asked to realise a vertical sundial on a circular tower. I don't know exactly (it's a truism !) how to proceed. This sundial will probably be built on stone, but we can't curve the stone. Then I think that it will be possible to realise like a multiface dial. What does the sundial list think about such a challenge ? Completely crazy or just a half ? Best regards (under the falling rain in Alsace :-(( Alain MORY Alexei Pace a écrit: > > Hello > > If you design a vertical south dial , and 'wrap' it around a south facing > gnomon on a cylinder,,, will it work? > > I would like to know how one may design a sundial on say a cylindrical > building....you cannot simply turn the building around like as in a > cylindrical/sheperd's dial! > The one at Disney was of this form... but I dont knwo what type of dial is > that > > thanks for any help > > alexei pace
