Hi Bob and all,
In my last email I made the comment:

Would the following support this?
On the plaque it indicates that the sundial can be used to "IT DEPICTS THE
PATH OF THE SUN FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR". And directions are given on how
to do this "MOVE HOUR ANGLE FROM SUNRISE AND SUNSET_THIS REPRESENTS SUN'S
PATH FOR THAT PARTICULAR DATE".
The only way the sun's path can be traced correctly on the globe is when
the local longitude of the globe is at the top.
Note: As there are no directions on rotating and setting the globe to local
longitude. Would this indicate that the globe was fixed?
