SUNDIALS AUSTRALIA

TEST FONTS & SYMBOLS

Text with degrees as words

 

The first illustration shows a  Celtic Cross vertical sundial made from stainless steel, on the wall of 'Bishops Court', the Anglican Archbishop’s residence in Adelaide, South Australia. Notice that the morning and afternoon hour lines are asymmetric - this is because the wall does not face true North but declines 13 degrees towards the West.

The cross is about 3 metres tall. The stainless steel has been chemically treated to prevent dazzling reflections.
