A. F. Baigent's piece reflects on the "BSS SUNDIAL GLOSSARY," having 'tested' the glossary on six guinea pig subjects for their understanding of 20 words from the glossary. He suggests improvements such as additional tables for equation of time and sun declination, plus more diagrams. The author acknowledges John Davis's hard work on the glossary.

This article describes the creation of "Gregory," a vertical direct south sundial designed specifically for young children and school use. Made from recycled metals, the dial features a gypsy face, with hair and eyebrows shaped to represent the equation of time. Its design aims to attract youngsters and serve as a teaching aid for time and longitude.
