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). John John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
