A large sundial has been constructed as part of a war memorial for the county of Du Page in Wheaton, Illinois, USA. See some photos of the construction at : http://207.32.133.10/copy_of_veteranmemoria/home.htm Dedication is to be this Monday, May 31, Memorial Day in the US.
Some details: The exact location is 41deg52m N, 88deg21m W, at 421 County Farm Road, Wheaton, Il. The construction of the memorial was done by Wight Companies, designed by Eszter Borvendeg, with consulting on the sundial markings by myself. The dial is set on a 70 foot (21m) diameter surface with the diameter of markings about 24 feet (6.4). The stainless steel gnomon looks like a giant pen set in a curved holder. The top is about 14 feet (4m) above the surface and the bottom tip is about 2 feet above the surface acting as the nodus. The dial markings were done in brass and stainless steel bands with colored terrazzo filling the spaces. Claude Hartman Sunlight Designs
