Jon, Two dials which come to mind are the scuptural Greenwich Observatory Dolphin Dial (http://sundials.org/links/local/pages/dolphindial.htm), and the equatorial style dial using an analemmatic gnomon (http://www.sun-dials.net/equatorial.htm). The Dolphin dial is the dial that most sparked my interest in dialling, when I first saw it around 1983, and I still think it is one of the nicest dials ever made. -Bill Gottesman -
