Description

This is Replica 5’’ Sundial Compass, this type of Sundials has been used in
Europe and England since the 1500’s they crossed the Atlantic with early
explorers of the Americas. The sundial and the compass are two completely
different instruments, built for different purposes. The sundial is an
instrument designed for a specific location on earth and permanently installed
there, on which the shadow of one of its parts indicates the hour of the day
(while the sun is up and making shadows). The compass is an instrument used
for navigation. It includes a free-floating magnetized component which, when
held level and still, aligns itself with the earth’s magnetic field and in
doing so, points approximately north. A sundial compass is a portable sundial
attached over a compass via a hinge. There are some adjustable legs that need
to be used to level the instrument if not on level ground. The gnome is hinged
and needs to be put in the up position where it locks into place. There should
be what looks like a protractor that is to the right of the gnome that is on a
hinge. That to needs to be flipped up as well. The protractor is used to set
the sundial to the correct latitude angle. The compass is to find the true
north based off of the area’s magnetic north declination. Once the instrument
has been leveled, set to the correct latitude, and to true north just observe
the shadow that is cast onto the sundial’s face by the gnome, for those in the
southern hemisphere, everything is the same except you will want to find true
south instead. Approximate Size: – 12.5cm – Dia x 5cm – High (Sundial Compass)
