The Lumbutts Sundial in West Yorkshire, England

German Sundial seen in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany

This sundial has a odd-shaped gnomon that completely compensates for the equation of time. The gnomon must be changed twice a year after (I think) the solstices. Each sundial is individually made for any given location to within 300 meters, and is accurate to (nearly) the minute. The website (in German) at http://www.hasler.net/sonne.htm says where some such dials are, but does not have any more information.
