> I heard Bill Nye The Science Guy talk about his father wanting to set out marks for the Washington Monument.
A few of us met with Bill Nye's father in 1994 when we were in Washington for the first NASS annual conference. I had made a map of the venues. http://www.twigsdigs.com/annex/washmon/washmon.html Bob _____ From: sundial [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of R.Pauli Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2015 3:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: largest sundial I heard Bill Nye The Science Guy talk about his father wanting to set out marks for the Washington Monument. Great idea, but the problem was the fuzzy shadow. On 10/27/2015 3:33 AM, Jackie Jones wrote: Can someone please tell me what is the worlds largest sundial? If a vertical tower, how high above the ground is the nodus? I have been consulted by someone who is claiming that a tower he wants to use as a sundial, which is 162m tall, will be the worlds largest dial. There are many issues with a dial of this size, which will be explained to him, but I would like to know about sizes of other large dials, please. This is not just a tall building casting a shadow, but one where there are hour markings on the ground.
