A digital sundial is a clock that indicates the current time with numerals formed by the sunlight striking it. Like a classical sundial , the device is purely passive and contains no moving parts. It uses no electricity nor other artificial sources of energy. The digital display changes as the sun advances in its daily course. Technique There are two basic types of digital sundials. One construction uses Waveguide optics optical waveguides , while the other is inspired by fractal geometry. Optical fiber sundial Sunlight enters into the device through a slit and moves as the sun advances. The sun s rays shine on ten linearly distributed sockets of optical waveguides that transport the light to a seven segment display . Each socket fiber is connected to a few segments forming the digit corresponding to the position of the sun. ref http www.hineslab.com DigitalSundial.html US patent belongs to HinesLab Inc.

The castellated and domestic architecture of Scotland from the twelfth to the eighteenth centuries , 5v, Edinburgh. pp. 434. ref Scottish sundials of the renaissance period are not just more numerous than in any other country, they are also stylistically unique. This is particularly notable when the size and wealth of Scotland at the time are taken into account. They are free standing stone sculptures of the 17th and 18th centuries with many small dials inscribed on them. Accurate timetelling is clearly not the aim. Precision is sacrificed for decorative effective. Unlike the sundial s of similar date on the continent where baroque decoration may be added, the mathematical complexity of the Scottish dials is decoration enough. The ancient sundials of Scotland can be grouped into three main styles lectern, obelisk and facet head. Lectern dials These are noticeable for their sloping top like a reading desk or lectern, in the equatorial plane, usually with a star on top having dials in all its angles, and at 90 degrees to this a hemi cylinder with a polar dial inscribed in it. The lectern usually has hollow dials on the south, east and west faces, and hour lines are inscribed in every available angle. One of the more complicated was formerly ...

Corallian Limestone which outcrops on the hills surrounding the Vale of Pickering runs across the region, and this appears as an aquifer in Kirkdale swallowing most of the water from Hodge Beck, which reappears further downstream. During summer months the river bed often runs dry as most of the water takes a subterranean passage. Kirkdale is noted for a Kirkdale Cave bone cave , an ancient animal den, into which scavengers such as hyenas dragged the remains of many other animals. Numerous bones can still be found in the cave today.

It is most famous for a large astronomical sculpture called a sundial , which does double duty as a climbing appliance for children. An inscription at the base describes the Axis of rotation axis of the gnomon as elevated 39 43 in the direction of true north polar north . The stone is perpendicular to the gnomon at 50 17 , which makes it parallel to the equator . The south side of the stone is similarly marked for wintertime observation. A polar chart at the base of the sundial describes the zodiac and degrees of the sun s position, and how to set a clock based on the gnomon s shadow. For winter viewing, the chart continues on the south side of the stone. History of the Sundial The current sundial is the second one to exist at this location in the park. The first was donated in 1941 by long time Manager of Denver Parks George Cranmer George E. Cranmer , for whom the park is named. It was destroyed by vandals who exploded dynamite under it in September 1965. The replacement sundial was installed in March, 1966 after a successful city wide fundraising effort led by the Denver Junior Chamber of Commerce. ref http siris artinventories.si.edu ... more details
