I saw two dials at Stellafane.  One is a vertical dial on the south facing 
wall of the club house.  It has a EOT chart to its right side and the 
gnomon appears to be missing.  The gnomon support is there and it casts a 
shadow but that is not an accurate time indicator.  The other was a small 
horizontal dial, not permanently mounted, that had its gnomon pointed 
south!  I don't know if this dial belongs to the club.

Also at the Hartness House Telescope Making Museum there was a very 
interesting equatorial dial on display (not outdoors) that has a cam 
marked with dates.  It rotates the dial to provide the EOT correction.
