It explains that this type of sundial is more practical than an equatorial sundial because it shows the time on any day of the year. It details a geometric method for plotting the hour lines using a reference equatorial sundial and a gnomon inclined according to the latitude. It also mentions the possibility of using trigonometric formulas to verify the results obtained geometrically.
