MATERIALS FOR MAKING THE DIAL 



For the dial, take a board about 14 inches square and an inch 

 or more thick. The lower edge may be bevelled if desired. This 

 should be given three coats of white paint, so that it will not warp 

 and check. 



For the gnomon a piece of board a half inch thick and six inches 

 square is required. It should be given several coats of white paint 

 so that it will not warp. The standard should be a solid post or 

 column about 30 inches high after being set in the ground or in 

 cement. It is not necessary to have the standard and its base 

 elaborate because vines should be trained around it; all that is 

 necessary is that it shoud be solid and set evenly.
