Re: From the New York times
Last November, Sara, Ken, Roger Sinnott and I visited Wellesley College to check out the observatory and a couple of sundials on the campus. The pictures are here: http://www.dickkoolish.com/rmk_page/pictures_112312.html Sara http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/31/fashion/weddings/sara-schechner-kenneth-l aunie-vows.html?emc=tnttntemail0=y Schechner, Kenneth Launie - Vows Robert Terwilliger Certified Master Clockmaker 2963 Bird Avenue Coconut Grove FL 33133 305-447-4619 Map to my http://www.twigsdigs.com/repair/map.html home shop --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
RE: Sundial At Tower Court, Wellesley College
The dial plate is a reproduction of the early 20th century, and the gnomon a messed up replacement! I have been thinking of writing this up with the Team for the NASS Compendium as a short article on how to approach a dial found in the field. Would that be of interest to others?

another free programmable CAD program in addition to DeltaCAD and FreeCAD
In addition to DeltaCAD, I mentioned a while back that FreeCAD was free, all inclusive, and programmable using Python. My python programs for FreeCAD include hDial, vDial, vDec, mDial, pDial, Shepherd, winged azimuth, the Cappucin dials, and an almanac. http://illustratingshadows.com/stats-freeCAD.html NanoCAD is the latest free programmable CAD system I have found. I have the hDial, vDial, and vDec dials programmed in VBS, they also provide declination curves. NanoCAD is also better than FreeCAD for drafting work. http://illustratingshadows.com/stats-nanoCAD.html Both FreeCAD and NanoCAD install as is, dont need extra addons, and work first time, as well as being free. NanoCAD does have a registration and license process, but that is automated, quick, and no cost.

RE: Sundial At Tower Court, Wellesley College
Hi Sara, Your idea of writing up the Wellesley College dial is a good one - I for one would like to know the full story and read your experiences. The replica dial isn't a bad attempt (other than that awful gnomon!) and appears to have been hand engraved. But the details of the Equation of Time scale are missing and the half-hour fleur-de-lys don't have the shape I would expect for a Cole dial. Do you know if the original dial plate still exists?
