Top Grade 5 Inch Perfectly Calibrated Large Sundial Compass with Wooden Box.

Description

This is Replica 5’’ Sundial Compass, this type of Sundials 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 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 on to 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)
