Kansas

	Dodge City	Kansas	USA	Horizontal Dial	Dial 39
	Two horizontal dials side by side, one for Central Standard Time and one for Mountain Standard Time. The CST dial shows hour lines for 7 AM to 7 PM, the MST dial shows 6 AM through 6 PM. Corrected for longitude. Each dial is approximately 13 meters in diameter. In front of the dials is a large concrete plaque with the equation of time and analemma. The analemma is represented as summer on top and late months (Feb, Jul) on right. This is not the way it would be viewed in the traditional series of photos nor is it the way a shadow would be traced. The width is exaggerated, presumably to allow a better reading of the minutes of time. The paint is peeling badly.
	Lawrence	Kansas	USA	Horizontal Dial	Dial 263
	24x42x42' Concrete, stainless steel 17x2x21' The original limestone pointer and 'Eutin' flower were vandalized and replaced by stainless steel pointer and cast concrete flower.
	Medicine Lodge	Kansas	USA	Equatorial Dial	Dial 1129
	This is an Erickson Monumental Equatorial Sundial. The dial face is made of Elberton Blue Granite with a 3-inch (8 cm) Stainless Steel gnomon resting on a concrete base. The circular dial face is 6 feet (2m) in diameter and 6 inches (15cm) thick. The gnomon casts shadows during the spring and summer on the top face of the granite dial and reads time on the back side of the dial during fall and winter. The Equation of Time is engraved on two stone plaques 11-feet (3.4m) long and 6 feet (2m) wide . On the dial's summer side, the EoT curve shows the time correction from March 22 to Sep 21. On the winter side, the EoT curve is from Sept 22 to March 21. The Sundial was dedicated at the time of the 1985 Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty celebration.
	Wichita	Kansas	USA	Horizontal Dial	Dial 281
	A bronze dial about 2 feet in diameter that has a simple chapter ring with Roman numerals. The gnomon is an artistic extension of a bird. The sundial sits atop a 30-inch pedestal of open ironwork reminiscent of a clock tower. Cogs put together inside the open structure at the bottom reinforce this impression. All sits on a square concrete dais.
