Hello List:

Would this be a true statement?

(In this case I'm refering to the Kitt Peak Telescope Sundial, but I think
it might be a true statement for any sundial):

The average velocity of the shadow (m/hr) on the sundial face as it moves
along a line connecting the time point markers is equal to the total length
of these lines (m) divided by the longest possible daylength (in hours).

In this case that would be 118 meters /14.17 hours = 8.327 m/hr (or
27ft.hr).
