    摘要: A sundial comprising a transparent hollow globe marked with latitude and longitude lines and including a map of the world is mounted on a stationary base. The globe is adjustable with respect to the base to enable the polar axis to be inclined toward a geographic pole of the earth and to permit alignment of a desired geographic location on the map with an index point. A reflector is mounted at the center of the globe and focuses an image of the sun onto the interior surface of the globe. The image traverses the globe as the earth rotates, thereby tracking the actual path of the sun with respect to the earth on the globe surface.

    摘要: A meridian indicator comprising a base plate, an inclined plate disposed at a selected angle to the base plate, an hourly graduated arcuate plate, means rotatively supporting the arcuate plate upon the inclined plate, a rectangular style plate, means supporting a first edge of the style plate at a selected angle to the inclined plate, means angularly displacing the style plate at a selected angle relative to a horizontal plane, a weighted string means attached to a second edge of the style plate which is parallel to the first edge, aperatures in the inclined plate and the arcuate plate positioned so that weighted string means adjustably passes therethrough, and a latitude scale means deposed on the inclined plate and juxtapositioned to the weighted string means as it passes through the aperatures, an equation of time correction scale means disposed upon the arcuate plate, and a longitude scale means disposed upon the inclined plate in juxtaposition to the equation of time correction scale means, the arcuate plate having hourly graduations so that when a third edge of the style plate is pointing to true north, the shadow of the sun of the third edge of the style plate falls correctly upon an hourly graduation upon the arcuate plate to read true solar time.

    摘要: An improved sundial comprising a reflective surface member supported in a plane parallel with the earth''s axis and adapted to receive and reflect sun rays; a non-reflective line inscribed along said reflective surface parallel to the axis of the earth''s rotation and adapted to project a shadow; a translucent semicylindrical member projected over said surface and co-axial about said line, the surface of said cylinder carrying a time scale observable from the exterior of the translucent member such that the shadow is highlighted by a bright sunlit outline of reflected sun rays with said shadow indicating the time of day.
