BlankI have recently managed to acquire a Sol Horometer.
As many of you will know, this was the second type of heliochronometer
manufactured by Pilkington & Gibbs Ltd in the early 1900s.

I have put a picture of the dial, plus a few others to explain how it works,
on my web site.

If interested, go to:

or
www.wiz.to/sundials
and follow the links.

For those unfamiliar with the P&G company, it is worth starting with the
heliochronometer, which then shows the differences (and similarities)
between the two dials, and follows the story through.
