John: I'm forwarding your question to the sundiallers mailing list. I'm sure I've seen some info before on constructing a sundial with a person as a gnomon, but don't recall off-hand how. The reason it won't work with the dial my generator generates is the the person would have to lean at an angle to the ground that equals your latitude...
Can anyone else help? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 14 May 1996 17:49:15 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to find information about how I might construct a sundial using a person as the gnomon. I want to do this with my sixth grade students. I tried to used the sundial that your generator made for my latitude. I just extended the lines a few feet. That does not seem to be working. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate some help. Thanks, John Taylor
