> Hi Sir,

> If you would be so kind, I'm looking for a dialist that in Albert Waugh's
> book "Sundials, their theroy and construction", quoted and also showed
his
> design of a sundial. His name is Richard Schmoyer. In Waugh's book it
is

> style he did to make the dial compensate for the equation of time. It is
> amazing. I'm making a public sculpture with a sundial as the cast shadow
> of the piece. I wasn't sure who to ask to find Mr. Schmoyer. Is this
type

> it, the curvature? The curvature is sort of an "S". My guess, is half
of
> an analemia. But I'm not that far along as a dialist. Anyinformation
you
> could give would be helpful. Thank-you.
