Near is the ``Kosmos'' hotel, at the Bydgoska street. The ball has a diameter of about 4 meters and is made of concrete covered with small granite tiles. There is a brass plate at the sundial with the notice: ``The dial was made in a social deed by the crew of the Toru/n Undertaking of General Building according to the design by E. Szczech and H. Sawicki'' (in original: ``Zegar wykonala w czynie spo/lecznym zaloga Torunskiego Przedsiebiorstwa Budownictwa Ogolnego wedlug projektu E. Szczech i H. Siwickiego'' ``Social deed'' meant in communist times a voluntary extra work made to show the support of the workers to the communist country. In fact the ``deed'' never was voluntary but mostly mandatory though without a payment. Best regards Krzysztof Kotynia
