- The
Lumbutts Sundial in West Yorkshire, England
- German Sundial seen in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany
- This sundial has a odd-shaped gnomon that completely compensates
for the equation of time. The gnomon must be changed twice a
year after (I think) the solstices. Each sundial is individually
made for any given location to within 300 meters, and is accurate
to (nearly) the minute. The website (in German) at http://www.hasler.net/sonne.htm
says where some such dials are, but does not have any more information.
