Hi,
I am investigating a sun dial which it is claimed
will be accurate to a fraction of a minute.
It is based on the sundials made by Cooke, 
who was the New South Wales Government Astronomer
up to 1928.
The difficulties in making it are to make an analemma
with the days of the year marked on it. The device 
has a clock dial with hour hand and minute hand.
I have the facilities to make all the parts, the 
challenge is to make it the best of its kind.
The original model came in two versions,
a cheap version and a deluxe. There is still 
some reverse engineering to do to re-create 
the original designs which are only available
as pictures.
I am attaching a picture of the cheaper model.
Cheers, 
Neville Michie
