Sundials

Reproduces Tim Hunkin's 'Rudiments of Wisdom' cartoon strip on sundials from the Observer newspaper. It offers a concise overview of the development of sundials from the Egyptian obelisk, through to equal hours dials and modern developments, in cartoon form, even commenting on the need for adjustments due to the equation of time!
