sundialling set called "tic-tac solarium" under the label "ItsImagical".
It contains a plastic base with a small compass, a latitude-adjustable gnomon and a set of templates for different latitudes, in 5° steps. In addition, there is a string which allows to draw a larger circle, either on sand or on a firm surface with a chalk, and you can then divide it according to the template placed on the base. The gnomon is long enough to cast its shadow on the outer part.
The origin is Spain (even though made in China). The company data on the box are StepTwo SA Plataforma Logistica PLA-ZA c/ Osca, 4 E-50197 Zaragoza, Spain They have importers in Mexico, Peru, Argentina. (I obviously have no connections whatsoever with the company!) I hope this helps. -- __________________________________ Thierry 50.1 N 4.3 E __________________________________ heiner thiessen wrote:
Is anyone out there aware of makers of educational sundials (perhaps with an international distribution) whose products are well affordable for tight school budgets? Heiner Thiessen 51N 1W -
