Hi Dan,
            Allan Mills exhibited a sundial for the blind at the BSS Yarnfield 
conference.  A sun spot heated a narrow copper strip wound around the outside 
of a cylinder with raised numerals in braille. A totlly blind person could then 
'feel' the time.

 I have a small jpeg if anyone would like to see it via < [email protected]

Subj: Sundial for the visually impaired



Hello, 
I was wondering: has anyone designed a sundial for the blind? Can there be one? 
How do you make people feel the shadow?
