FYI: Bert Willard, curator of the Springfield Telescope Maker's museum
in Springfield, Vermont has indicated that he will bring both that very
same James Hartness dial, and a Russel Porter mystery dial, to the NASS
convention this August in Burlington, Vermont. -Bill Gottesman LJ Coletti wrote: Richard, That particular dial was designed by James Hartness (URL below).http://www.hartnesshouse.com/vermont-museum/hartness-porter-museum.shtml Luke Coletti On 5/20/2010 12:31 PM, kool...@dickkoolish.com wrote:Here is one of the Porter sundials in Springfield VT. http://www.dickkoolish.com/rmk_page/RMK_Pictures/S60-07-31-06/IMGP0754.JPGFriends, Is there a conventional name (like horizontal', equatorial', polar' and so on) for the sundial constructed as shown below? Am I right thinking that the name of this construction is "Russell sundial"? I mean Prof. Russell Porter, the Palomar Mountain Observatory. Any help, please.
