"Ma'alot" literaly means - degrees or stairs. <snip> I will be thankful if anybody could give me information how to make such a 'staircase - sundial'. Ronit Maoz < Hi Ronit. One way might be to design a conventional horizontal dial but make each hour line one of a set of steps. Refer to the attached (very poor!) drawing. There is at least one such dial in the UK.
