Oh, it's a really nice one, but as far as I remember, there is a hint in Rafael Soler's
book on a dial like these (in the chapter about equatorial sundials). Anyhow,
it's just a hint, not the whole device as you show.

Thank you very much for your kind hint, dear Anselmo.
Only some minutes after I had sent my message, Fred Sawyer told us about the patent of 1867 :-)
So: If you read the German text, Dieter Vornholz writes in his text, that a similar sundial was not known to him. The list is really a very good place to get to know such things!
The sundial, which my friend Dietrich Ahlers has built, was made for a client in Bavaria. He wanted to have a sundial, which works both in his hometown Wuerzburg and in Bangkok! - As he intended to present it to a friend in Thailand.
Best
Reinhold
