Dear Roger
my congratulations for the award of the Sawyer Dialing Prize. I think
your idea of two single points as sunrise and sunset marks in
analemmatic sundials is great. I always include them in constructions
for analemmatic sundials and very often I name them "Bailey Points".

Roger Bailey is pleased to have receive the NASS Sawyer Dialing Prize
for 2016. The certificate recognizes Roger for "consistently showing
the dialing community that all you need to know in life can be learned
from studying sundials, and for using that study to advance the theory
and practice of dialing." For details see
http://sundials.org/index.php/features/sawyer-dialing-prize
On receiving the award Roger's presentation was "That is a Good
Question". Here he pointed out that most of his achievements in the
art and science of dialing was sparked by answering good questions,
questions like the shadow lengths or the time and direction of sunrise
sunset on analemmatic sundials or time systems on Islamic
sundials. The theme was "Ask and you shall receive". He remains open
to good questions.
