I think the dial could be called a Polar dial, but I favor Equatorial,
because the hour marks will be evenly spaced along a cylindrical
surface, typical of many equatorial dials. How about shaking things up
a bit, and calling it a Polar Equatorial? Definitely not horizontal. -Bill Gottesman Александр Болдырев wrote: Friends, Is there a conventional name (like horizontal', equatorial', polar' and so on) for the sundial constructed as shown below?Am I right thinking that the name of this construction is "Russell sundial"?
