To Bill, John, Gordon, Frank and others,
Thank you for your pertinent help and information on this matter.
By implication the Besancon analemmatic dial would date from
before 1925.
I will add the explanation referring the hour marks to the description
of this remarkable dial on the sundial site I an preparing right now.
Regards, Frans
