Horizontal Sundial - 1

Horizontal Sundial
Horizontal sundials
are probably the most
commonly seen because they
so often make
interesting features
in parks and gardens.

Horizontal Sundial
The gnomon must point
to the celestial pole
and therefore
must make
the angle of latitude
with the horizontal.

Two-Sided Equatorial - 2
![Page 6: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two-Sided Equatorial
When set for your latitude and placed on a horizontal surface
facing north, the gnomon points to the celestial pole. The receiving surface with the scale
on it is then parallel to the equatorial plane.

Three in One
Sundials on public buildings
are often of the vertical type
because they can
be seen and admired,
but are not easily reached and
'improved' by idle hands.

Sunbeam Equatorial Sundial - 5
![Page 10: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sunbeam Equatorial Sundial
This sundial simulates the Earth,
with its axis and equatorial
plane. However, instead of a
solid gnomon casting a shadow,
there is a slit gnomon casting a
beam of light.

Solar Compass - 8

Solar Compass
A solar compass
is a kind of
universal horizontal
Sundial
used in reverse.
![Page 13: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Solar Compass
By setting it
to the local sun-time
at your latitude,
you can find north.

Polar Sundial - 9
![Page 15: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Polar Sundials
The scale plane
of a polar sundial
is parallel to the Earth's axis
and when it is in use
the upper and lower edges are
east‑west.

Time Cylinder - 10
To find the time

Suntracker - 11
![Page 18: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Suntracker
The suntracker is not a sundial
and it does not tell the time,
but it provides
an interesting way of
investigating the path of the Sun
as it crosses the sky each day.
![Page 19: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Suntracker
It is very dangerousto look directly at the Sun
and the suntracker allows youto measure its
angle of elevation and bearing very easily
and with complete safety.

Nocturnal - 14
![Page 21: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Nocturnal
This device makes use of
three bright stars
in the northern hemisphere
to tell the time at night.
![Page 22: A collection of working models to cut-out and glue together Gerald Jenkins Magdalen Bear](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0191a28abf838cce70c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Nocturnal
Because the Pole Star
seems to remain fixed
and to act as the hub around
which all the other stars turn,
we can use it as the Center of a
giant celestial clock.
