  Thanks for this list, John, supplementing Ferrari's delightful collection. 
But, re the site's description of the sundial at Amersfoort, in what sense is 
that dial mechanical?
  Thanks,
  Len

    Maybe someone is interested in the group of monothematic sundials that 
Italian gnomonists Giacomo Bonzani and Guido Dresti have designed on the walls 
of the stations of a small mountain railway (52km)  which connects the town of 
Domodossola (Northern Italy) with nearest Switzerland.
