Hi
Jim,
I
agree with your approach. These hour lines show the average time zone time for
the location. The EQT curve provides the final daily correction to
bring the reading to clock time. I recommend this as a good practice
particularly when large corrections are required. Where I live, clock time is
way off true solar time. Here here. The summer correction here is
1:41:31!
As you
proposed, It is a good practice on a vertical dial to show the summer
times on the bottom and the winter times on the top as the shadow lengths are
longer in the summer. Try putting the numbers close to the solstice
declination lines for summer and winter.
