In nearly every case, an Interior Sundial design will have a space where the sunspot will never fall.

In Northern latitudes, or if the mirror is low down, it may be quite small. In designs for the Southern and South Western States of the US, or if the mirror is hign up, this blank space can be quite large.

It has been the tradition, for many centuries, to use such spaces on sundials to display quotations and mottoes.

We have listed some suggestions at the bottom of this page. There are, of course, many others.

Put the projector high up, perhaps on a table, to make the image smaller. Place it lower down, on the floor, to make it bigger.

Always make sure that the glass sheet, on top of the projector, and all the parts connected with the mirror are secure.

Always make sure that you do not block any air ventilation holes.
