What sundials are available which read standard time? I'm an engineer/CS person and I like stuff that's over designed. I would be interested in a 'garden variety' unit - as in, to place in a garden. The following features would be nice:
1. Adjustable for latitude/longitude 2. Adjustable for daylight savings time 3. Direct read in standard time. 4. Probably an equatorial design The units I am aware of are - Gunning Heliochronometer - Sunquest (is there a kit still available?) - Higgon Equatorial with interchangeable gnomon - Pilkington & Gibbs, historic - Wegner (design doesn't appeal to me) - Swanstrom analemmic gnomon, not a production unit (yet) I went to Harvey Mudd college, and they had a unit which used analemmae (sp?) on an essentially 'fat' equatorial with a dot showing the time. This might be OK too... I don't have a country mansion but I don't have to buy the cheapest thing... any suggestions? Also, are the archives of this list availabe online? Thanks, Mike Harding
