If you are interested in a program to calculate the line positions for you, take a look at my web site at http://www.chestnutpens.co.uk/misc/sundial.html

Hope this is of interest,

Also 'Orologi Solari'.

There have been several sundial designs in ME over the last twenty or thirty years – a look at the online index should get you to the relevant issues.

Mrs. Gatty's book is a classic … probably contains more 'trainspotting' than you need; but that's harmless stuff.

Hopefully this link will take you straight to the technical Appendix: **LINK**
