Hello All, I found out about the sundial mailing list from "Sundials on the Internet" and hope that one of you may be able to direct me to a helpful source. I was wondering if you knew a source for either plans or a finished device for the Ashton-Dearing Solarchron, Sundial Calendar. It looked like an interesting item (a brass truncated half-cylinder or parabaloid that had adjustments for latitude and longitude and gave both time and date) but I have heard it was a limited production item. I saw one in a catalogue in 1995 but my budget wouldn't allow me that much of an indulgence.
Failing locating an actual finished device, are you aware of any plans detailing the construction of a solar calendar that would tell the current date rather than the time? Additionally, I would be interested in similar leads on a nice accurate (local standard time within ~ 1 minute) heliochronometer. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
