I recently came across a very interesting book in my father's library
entitled Kunstuhrmacher in Alt Augsburg. The German text is by Maximilian
Bobinger and others.  The instruments illustrated include early and ornate
clocks, astrolabes and globes. Some of the clocks have sundials included in
their design.  However, the nature of these instruments suggests that these
sundials were not intended to be functional.  I scanned the photographs of a
few and put them on a web page:

What do you think?
