Well I'm truly impressed with this spreadsheet though a little depressed by
it too - it's so professional.

I have a suggestion. I've found it useful to included two extra columns that
give the distance from the hour point to the centre and to the noon point.
Then you can use a very simple method of construction. Put a peg in the
centre and noon points and attach one of those retractable steel tape
measures to each peg. (A loop of string round bamboo pegs works well). Then
you retract or extend the two rules, one in each hand, with them crossed
over in front of you while someone reads out the distances. All the hour
points can be very quickly marked this way.

Cheers,

Richard
