My question about "What is a shaded sundial?" got no response. Perhaps such a dial is known by other names.
Could such a dial be an ordinary dial, of any declination or inclination, covered by a shade with a slot in it? If the shade has the slope of the latitude of the dial, the slot forms a double style. Thus the time would be read, not at the edge of a shadow but in the middle of a streak of sunlight. Harold Brandmaier showed a "slit style" in Figure A-6 of his book, "A Sundial For Your Garden". Does anyone know of examples of sundials built like this? What type of sundial should they be called? Thanks again. Claude Hartman
