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.

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.
