The equation graph projected on a circle is used as a "kidney piece" cam in
a watch movement that can indicate the equation.

 

Here is a picture of the gear carrying the kidney piece. It turns once a

Hi,

I figured out a way to plot EoT curve which I didn't see in sundial books I
own. 
Diagram is enclosed here.

For a better resolution one, see
