- Description:
- The Archie Lynn Chase Sundial is an equatorial polar dial. Unlike other monumental polar dials (designed by Erickson Monument Co), the dial face is more of a rounded square than a circular disk. Hours, half hours, quarter hours and five minute lines mark the time from 4am to 8pm. The hour lines are rotated for the site latitude. A steel gnomon rod about 3 inches in diameter casts the shadow. Has a plaque describing the Equation of Time.
- Inscription:
- On the dial face, "To everything there is a season, and it is for every purpose under the sun" and on the dial back "Archie Lynn Chase Sundial I count only the sunny hours"
