Hi Fer:
I wouldn't call Harlem New York a modern society. I think it is an
embarrassment.

Nicola,
Thanks for your addition.
Your notes bring sense to a dial with lines radiating from the footpoint
of a perpendicular gnomon
and they still exist in Italy.
On the other hand I didn't expect this in a more modern society as New
York.
Best, Fer.

Dear Bob and Fer,
I have seen in Italy several sundials with the hour lines radiated from
footpoint of the vertical gnomon. This are simple sundials made from
simple people without gnomonic calculation, but only with the sun
observation. The precisione is not high, but good for living in the
little country of XVIII-XIXth century. I have seen several sundials in
this mode on house and church in Italy. Also the italian diallists point
out this dials like "pseudo-sundials", and not more time ago this was a
long diatribe on the italian mailing list on this subject. But this
simple sundials are not very rare in Italy and its are the testimoniance
of measuring time of our simple people in the country.
Thanks to all and sorry for my bad english

Bob, Nicola,
I also saw the "hourlines" on the sunny photograph of this dial but
they didn't give sense to me.
They radiate from the footpoint of the perpendicular gnomon on the wall,
I guess, and to my opinion they are not (usual) hourlines.
I don't know the text by Nicola and ask to place that text on the
sundial list so we all can learn Nicola's thoughts.
Best, Fer.

Nicola and all,
Nicola, I did not notice the hourlines until you pointed them out.
Thank you, this dial is beginning to make more sense.
I have put another page online with an edited version of Nicola's
graphic with a statement and link about the dial's concept.
