"What in heaven is a digital sundial?" That was the title of an article
in Scientific American (August 1991), which prompted a flurry of mental
activity in many a smart brain. One answer is on display here: a sundial
that displays the time, not by throwing a shadow on a set of lines,
but in plainly readable digits. The dial functions from 8:00 to 5.55 hr,
in 5 minute steps. There is a smooth transition from one reading to the
next.
The sundial has been invented by Hans Scharstein and Werner Krotz-Vogel
(Germany) and Daniel Scharstein (USA).
