I found the Abrams Sun Compass. I incorrectly stated that it was an analemmatic sundial.
Thank you for all that replied. Although I have a few photos of it, the one that I want most is the one that I can't find. I saw it on a link about 6 months ago on this forum. The background looked like it was military such as a b24 cockpit, or a tank. Perhaps it is in these replies. My roommate used up all the download and my internet is amazingly slow for the rest of the month. Therefore, I haven't looked at all the links-yet.
