- This vertical dial is a "super ellipse" 36 x 12 inches (92 x61 cm). It is made of dark slate 1.2 inches (3 cm) thick with a stainless steel backing. Hour lines are in grey, radiating from a gilt flaming sunburst. With the dial declining 7 deg to east, Roman hour marks in gilt range 6AM to 5PM (noon is absent for a crest), with dots for half hours. The gnomon is 3mm brass with a nodus disk parallel to the plane of the dial. No solstice nor equinox lines, but a dateline of 5 August, 1978 (wedding anniversary).
