Hello all:

I need to know the proper classification of the Swenson dial or a similar
dial by Father Ildephonse at the convent of Cimiez-sur-Nice (picture on
plate 19 of Rohr).  These dials have the analemma for each hour only.  

Would these be called hourly analemmic sundials (not to be confused with
"analemmatic" sundials)?

I've noticed that some people simply call this type of dial Standard Time
sundials, but this seems to be too general.

Thanks,

John Carmichael
