| Description: |
- This horizontal dial is 18 inches in diameter made of painted iron, and unfortunately parts of the dial face have rusted. The dial is marked hourly from 6am to 6pm to 6pm using Roman numerals at the dial circumference. Hour lines are made using a series of dots. The swept-wing design of gnomon has an angle of 42.5 deg, about 2 degrees higher than the latitude. The sundial sits on a sandstone boulder from Pawnee Pass, that was chosen by classmates for this memorial to honor Ken Malone who drown at North Sterling Reservoir.
