I was intrigued by the description of the Richard Whitehead dial in the BSS Register so I'm glad that you are investigating it. Whitehead was apprenticed to my hero Henry Wynne, who's large double horizontal dials feature azimuth scales. The one at Wrest Park (Bedfordshire) has an azimuth scale

Any references on making a universal ring dial?
