Dear John,
I know this object as “Horizontoscope".

There is a description of the TNO "jellyfish", as it was affectionally
known, in a paper by J van der Eijk, "Instrumentation for Solar Studies",
in the *Proceedings of the CIE Intersessional Conference on Sunlight in
Buildings*, Bouwcentrum International, Rotterdam 1967, and reprinted as
Good morning,

Dr John Pickard.
