Anselmo,
I gave the start to the discussion about "typical twentieth century
sundial concepts" after remarking that some concepts were missing in the
survey of Margaret Stanier in the BSS Bulletin volume 14 (iii) of
september 2002.
Bifilar dials are not missing in this survey.

Hoi, Willy,
My remark wasn't a reproach: t'was only a question :-) I hadn't read
Stainer's article and I wanted
to express my opinion that bifilars and conical dials are perhaps the
best contributions to XXth century
sundialing. There was, for instance, one man from the Spanish Sundial
Society that improved Freeman's sundial,
and we've got, of course the smart Shadow Plane Sundials (thanks Mac and
Fer!) but I do not think these dials
have as much 'classicness' (so to say) as the other two.
Groetjes,
Anselmo
