Forgive me for issuing this query in place of doing
my own research, but time presses....
An artist friend wants to make a sundial of a particular design,
which he describes as a "globe sundial designed by Thomas Jefferson".
the rough sketch he sent me suggests that the dial face is
carved on a spherical surface. he has no information about
the gnomon. is this some kind of variation on a hemispherium?
if anyone recognizes this design and can direct me to a source
i may be able to make sure he doesn't waste time cutting
stone before we have a clear idea of the concept.
thanks very much. -jim lattis
