Dear Friends I have just put up onto my website www.precisedirections.co.uk a little movie made with Google Sketchup (which has quite reasonable algorithms for the Sun's position). It show a horizontal dial at 1.30 pm every day of the year in a wonderful place where the sun shines every day in the afternoon.
If you have a copy of Sketchup (which is freely available from Google), I have also included the file from which the movie was made. It takes a little time to become familiar with Sketchup, but - for seeing how your dial will perform in the real world with nearby trees, surrounding buildings, etc. - there is nothing better... Enjoy Best regards Kevin Karney Freedom Cottage, Llandogo, Monmouth NP25 4TP, Wales UK 01594 530 595
