I should add that the Folded-Paper Horizontal & Vertical-Polar Dial can
also be made with just one fold:
.
A 2:1 paper rectanble is folded at its middle in a right-angle.
.
The fold is held by a thread connecting the middles of the top-edges of the
two squares.
.
A nodus (bead or tied-short-thread) is at the middle of the
connecting-thread.
.
For morning or afternoon, the dial is held with one square vertical and the
other horizontal. For both morning and afternon, of course the horizongal
square needs a horizontal dial drawing on it, and the vertical square needs
a vertical-polar dial drawn on it.
.
So, it would be necessary to have separate pairs of dials drawn on the two
sides of the rectangle, one for morning and one for evening.
.
That would necessitate adjusting the connecting-thread. The
connecting-thread could be in the form of a loop, so that the fold could be
reversed, using that same thread-loop. That thread-loop could have a nodus
on each of its two opposite sides, so that the noduc could be
correctly-positioned in morning or afternoon.
.
Of course, with both sides of the paper needed for the dials, a separate
piece of paper would be needed for the tabulated EqT, and the tabulated
decination or ecliptic-longitude.
