It was thought of by the inventive Piet Hein who invented the super ellipse amongst other things I shall endeavour to send more information about this dial in the mailing list in the coming days.

Dear Co-Diallists, Thank you for the immediate and overwhelming response to my request. I had had only a small hope to get any reaction at all. There seems to be an enormous amount of dialling info stored in this list. I have at once admired the picture of Helix Helios at the Egeskov site. It seems to work, but what time does it indicate. Tom's idea of indenting the edges to take care of the EQT is tempting, but I can not even figure out the principle. I have thumbed through my ROHR again now, but could not detect this type of dial. What type of dial would one call it anyway? Thanks again for your contributions. Günther Faltlhansl 48°09' N 16°52' E
