Here is some info concerning the Piet Hein dial I got from this list
some time back. Unfortunately, it appears that the URL has grown
stale...

See Helix Helios at <http://www.egeskov-slot.dk/map/sun_dial.html> for a
wonderful helical dial by Piet Hein. It is at Egeskov Castle in Denmark.
Thanks Daniel Roth for including it on "sundial links"

The Sundial "Helix Helios"
is nine meters tall, and
was given to Egeskov in
1989 by the multitalented
Piet Hein. The time is
shown on the twisting
spiral.
