hi all, I draw inspiration from the image sent by Brian Albison for a meditation.
I often found analemmatic sundials with the analemma. Has it a sense ? Standing on the analemma one can get the right correction for eot only at noon. Most of these sundials don't report a warning about it, so the users get a wrong time al the day, except noon. Moreover some of them haven't the calendar on the meridian line but only on the analemma, so the misunderstanding is sure. The use of a table with the eot should solve the curiosity to get the mean time, so I wonder why this kind of sundial is knowspreading with the analemma while it is not suitable for this. Do you where this use come from ? ciao Fabio Fabio Savian Inviato da Tablet Samsung. -------- Messaggio originale -------- Da: Brian Albinson <brianalbin...@shaw.ca> Data: 16/08/2016 18:04 (GMT+02:00) A: Sundial Group <sundial@uni-koeln.de> Oggetto: Double analemma dials Hi folk We have built 3 direct reading mean time double analemma dials, (including the Highlands School dial) in the Vancouver area and are curious to know if any others exist in the world (apart from the Longwood dial).
