| Description: |
- A 45 inch diameter bronze equatorial ring dial with an arrow-pointed rod gnomon. The dial is mounted atop a 36 inch square pink granite plinth with chamfered corners sitting on a concrete base.
No EOT or longitude correction is provided and the gnomon angle may be slightly low but is aligned true north.
This is a standard commercial dial and is seen in other locations. Its design allows the gnomon angle to be changed for the local latitude.
