Hi all,
In 1730. I think I heard somewhere that. Clock manufacturers also sometimes
gave a small window sundial to allow you to set your clock. With a equation of
time table. Is that correct?

If you had a similar clock in 1730 - located where you didn't have access to
another accurate clock, a sundial would be the only way you could set it -
and to do so you would need to know the equation for the date.

hi folks
I was just blundering around the internet when I came across the following
that may be of interest..
A long case clock from 1730 London that has an annual dial for displaying
the date and the equation of time

It's a premade disk with EoT table that rotates in a year, not a P&G type
kidney cam, but was new clock complication to me
