Perhaps you are referring to Tad Dunne's winning entry for The Sundial Motto Festival of yesteryear which I quoted to The List recently. It earned him the first prototype of the Miniature Universal Equatorial that I had on show at NASS in Hartford as a prize. Here it is again and Tad's email address too in case you need it! Best Wishes Tony Moss. ************************************ Tad Dunne, [EMAIL PROTECTED] On September One, you can trust the sun Come Halloween, subtract sixteen. On Christmas day, the dial's OK For your Valentine true, add a dozen and two. Add no more, the mid of month four. The mid of May, take four away. On June fourteen, don't add a bean. When August begins, add seven little mins. The rest is easy: For any date All you do is interpolate.
