I would like to see that drawing, Mac! I can imagine how such a gnomon would work and might look, but believe it would need to be "split" into two seasonal units. It's tempting to realize that the polar dial is itself inherently split, but the dial separates naturally at the Equinoxes, and the gnomons would be swapped out at the Solstices, so I don't see an "automatic" way offhand...
