Universal Equinoctial Sundial
Regularly $149 each
20% Off Sale: $119 each
This Stanley London® sundial is an antique reproduction of a universal equinoctial sundial with leveling pendulums and internal magnetic compass.
The Universal Equinoctial Sundial is an extremely accurate sundial developed in the mid to late 1600's.
The magnetic compass allows fast alignment of azimuth to North.
The sundial can be adjusted to your local latitude.
This sundial features three leveling screws that can be adjusted to ensure that the sundial frame is level.
The sun's shadow cast by the sundial's gnomon onto the linear 15 degree per hour scale equatorial band marks the local time.
The three parameters that affect the accuracy of a sundial are the azimuth, latitude of the instrument, and level.
The unique design of the Universal Equinoctial Sundial provides precise adjustment of all three parameters.
This beautiful instrument is made of solid brass with a beautiful antique patina that will not show fingerprints.
The hours and months are identified by black Arabic numerals.
The body of the sundial is 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) wide, 7 inches (17.8 cm) high and 5 1/2 inches (14 cm) deep and the sundial weighs 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram).
The Universal Equinoctial Sundial usually sells for $149, but is on sale for just $119.
We also offer a Celestial Armillary Globe, two Stanley London
Brass Sundial Compasses, and six Small Brass Sundial Compasses
