Sunny Day, If you are interested in designing a polar sundial with the aid of a template, I have recently added a number of "Dialling Guides" to my web site that can help you to just that. There are 5 "Dialling Guides" from which you can design 102 polar sundials. There is also a set of instructions. All files are in pdf format.
The "Dialling Guides" are very easy to use and will help you lay out a variety of polar sundials. They come in two sizes if printed out at full scale. One set can be printed on 8-1/2" by 11" paper and the other on 11" by 17" paper. However, the "Dialling Guides" can be printed to any size. This gives you the flexibility to create any size of "Dialling Guide" you need to meet your requirements. The following summarizes the polar sundial "Dialling Guides" available: 1. Sizes: 6 to 18 inches in 1/2 inch increments; Time Range: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Time Increment: 10 minutes 2.
