Ring sundial
(Magnified seven times, moving parts welded together.)
Clockmakers used ring sundials to check their clockwork mechanisms. Pastor Philipp Matthäus Hahn developed his eye sundial from this design.
The ring sundial consists of the meridian ring, which in our region must be set to the 48th parallel, and the hour ring. The slider with the sun hole (eye) is set to the month, and the entire assembly is rotated until a ray of sunlight passes through the eye and onto the hour ring.
