I also think we should disqualify sundials that no longer exist. (Agustus and Mont Saint Michel) John   John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.

Jaipur   -   21000 sq. ft. Disney  -  11300 sq. ft. The Guiness Book of Records, the last time I looked, listed the Disney Dial as the world's largest.  When I questioned them about their basis, I received no answer! Hal Brandmaier
