Roger seems to be the only person in the Sundial community who does not call
them "Bailey Points."    I think his Canadian modesty.

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.
