This is a PDF file that shows you how to make a simple horizontal dial, then the meridian as well as polar, and equatorial dials are discussed.
From this two different cube dials can be designed. More advanced than
SIMPLE SHADOWS, and an almost 60 page free sample of the main
book, ILLUSTRATING SHADOWS.

                     
Cubic Shadows is a free sample of the main book . . .

This booklet of just under 60 pages consists of two pages of a STEP BY STEP process, then extracts from the main book, ILLUSTRATING
SHADOWS for a detailed table of contents or here for a chapter index. Simple Shadows is one sixth the size of Illustrating Shadows, but
provides a flavor of the main book.

This file is about 2 MB and is virus free - checked by the latest Norton as well as PCcillin.

CUBIC SHADOWS talks of horizontal sundials, in a do-it-first-then-fix-it-next step by step process, as well as next discussing what happens and
why it works and then stepping you through the process. Then it talks of the vertical dial next, then the polar and meridian dials, and the
equatorial dial. It has a template for a cubic dial that a handy person can build in an afternoon. Tables are provided as well as formulae.
