Sasch,
I'm actually thinking of a south-facing vertical dial. The wide gnomon
would, I think, be some form of inclined surface with the east and west
sides acting as styles.
Because it's an underslung configuration, in my mind's eye the part of
the wall below the gnomon is relevant - equivalent to the 'noon
overlap' seen in the horizontal examples, so with hour lines something
like the graphic below (here with gnomon drawn semi-transparent so that
the dial face can be seen.) If I'm imagining it correctly, that is.
I'm asking about it on the list because I've never seen this
configuration of sundial, so I'm after examples of how they've actually
been laid out.

that’s not what you’re talking about.

My thanks go to Frans, Kurt, Mike, and Don for replying to my
inquiry. I'm happy to report that between them, those responses
confirmed my idea of how underslung gnomons work.
Now turning to the more specific case of a vertical dial, and
clarifying my original posting, does anyone know of actual examples
of vertical dials with _wide_ underslung gnomons?
Cheers,
Steve
