Donald,
Your statemant "the Abrams Sun Compass is an analemmatic sundial" wasn't
incorrect.
The compass is a number of patterns of analemmatic sundials in one
instrument.
By that it can be used fore a series of latitudes.
Best wishes, Fer.

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.

This, albeit short, thread has been fascinating. As a naval reserve
person,
and as an airman later, I stick to the astro compass.
The army types do deserve some credit for using methods other than those
in
use by the other services:)
Donald, thanks for raising the topic.

A few months back on this forum, I
saw a link to a photo of a solar
compass. It was an analemmatic sundial that help direct ww2
bombers to
their target.
Does anyone know where I can find this link?
Also, I'm after other stories similar
