Hello readers, I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my question
about the work of "West and Stanley," which is actually very well made and
is an inclined sundial rather than an equatorial one, as I mistakenly wrote.
All of your suggestions were a great help to me.

 

Best regards, Karlheinz

Betreff: Re: West and Stanley

 

There is an 8-page article on this very subject in the just-released
September issue of the Bulletin of the British Sundial Society.

 

The article hinges around the purchase of one of these dials by Martin
Jenkins who examines it in some detail and compares with other images, and
gives some information on the 19th century London makers who made these
sundials, presumably for the colonial army in India.

 

Regards, Doug

Many dials from the far east have not only manufacturing quality issues,
their hour lines on the dial plate, and even their gnomon location on the
dial plate often wrong. I have a small section in my book Illustrating Times
Shadows on what to watch out for.
