Luke,
Thank you for sending the info on the capuchin sundial. This looks
fascinating. It is also timely--my daughter needs to take readings
from a sundial for a girl scout badge she is working on and I thought
it would be good to let her assemble this one and use it.
I have altered the postscript file for local circumstances and read
the directions carefully (several times). However, I don't fully
comprehend step #9
9. Use the flap and slit from step #5 to point the dial at the
sun. The light should make a long straight shadow along
the 'horizontal' line across the top of the page.
Can you elaborate, or point me to a site that will more completely
explain what it is I'm supposed to do here?
Thanks,
Jim
