You could start here.... **LINK**

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,

This site may have what you need **LINK** Mike.

I use 'Shadows' to design simple dials.(used to be free, now comercial)

Also 'Orologi Solari'.

There are several books available but mine are all packed in boxes ready to move house.

Several links here...

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**

P.S. ... for 'extreme sundialling' have a look at Gibbs' patent:
