Hi Carl, You are correct. The Frying Pan Sundial dial is properly designed using a classic graphical technique, an equatorial circle and tangent line. I did not read the text closely enough and jumped to wrong conclusion. A sketch showing this technique to set the hour lines would have been more useful than the Indian Circle sketch for finding north.
