Sundial that shows clock time
Sundial Accuracy
Most sundials show sun time, which varies from clock time plus or minus 15 minutes over the course of a year.
Here's a sundial from the 1911 Scientific American that was designed to show clock time.

sundial accuracy

This 1911 Scientific American article describes a sundial that was claimed to give correct standard clock time to the minute.
The exact location of this sundial is not given, and I don't find that it still exists.

     There is an apparent error in this article. In the first column, second paragraph, it says "The dial of the instrument is tilted according to the latitude, so that it will lie parallel to the plane of the celestial equator."..."the dial face (is) tipped to the latitude of New York (which is about 41 degrees)."..."the face of the dial is parallel with the celestial equator".
     Horizontal sundials have their gnomons tilted to the latitude of their location. But that results in the gnomon, or the dial of the sundial in this Scientific American article, being parallel to the earth's axis, not to the equator or to the celestial equator as this article states.
