Hi Jackie, The biggest problem that I have found is that most sundials are designed for the Northern Hemisphere. With global trading sundials are made for the Northern Hemisphere and then imported into Southern Hemisphere countries like Australia and don’t work. You wouldn’t have this problem as you live in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is aimed at those that know absolutely nothing about them, so I am trying to keep it simple. I would like to have a section on dials that don’t work, and was wondering if any of you have any very clear pictures with obvious errors that I could use. Such as gnomon wrong way round or curved, hour lines equally spaced; ie, more than just slightly wrong angles. Many thanks. Brighton Festival is a delight; if any of you happen to be around this part of the world in May, do drop in. Details of the Open Houses section of it are at www.aoh.org.uk then go to the Beyond the Level trail and we are house number 8. With best wishes, Jackie Jackie Jones 50° 50’ 09” N 0° 07’ 40” W -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this message.
