Fred,

thank you very much for your message about the analemmatic sundial
of Gordon E. Taylor.

I have known the dial from Gordon already. My opinion is, that one can
mark it only in the further sence as Foster-Lambert-Dial.

I believe there are only two Foster-dials in the world !
I suppose, a dial of Parent does not exist as fixed assemles.
That is very sad.

Is there in USA no Foster-Lambert-Dial ?

I have read your article in the Bulletin of the BSS No. 94.2 and 95.1. It is
very good.

In the next RUNDSCHREIBEN of the Austrian Working Group for Sundials
a new graphic display of the analemmatic projection is issued.

Best regards
Karl
Austria
