Dear Sundialling colleagues,
A major article on the analemma and mean time sundials by Christopher Daniel (Chairman of the British Sundial Society) is currently being published in the BSS Bulletin.
Part 1 "The Equation of Time: The Invention of the Analemma. A brief history of the Equation of time" BSS Bulletin 17(iii) pp. 91-100 (September 2005).
Part 2 is currently in press for the December 2005 issue and is a further 11 pages. The paper quotes 104 references. It will include a nice colour photograph of the Coster dial of c.1726 referred to by Fer and others.
It is also planned to publish the two parts together as a monograph early in 2006.
