If a vertical wall sundial is on the equator and A) If it is on a southern wall, it will function from fall equinox till spring equinox and will be shaded by the building from spring equinox till fall equinox.

So 1A and 1B were only backwards if you use northern hemisphere definitions of the seasons.   Chris Lusby Taylor Newbury 51.4N 1.3W
