The internet is however awash in reproductions, everything from poster-sized enlargements to shower curtains and duvet covers, most or all derived from the original held by the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. I claim as my invention- The combination with a time chart of a circular time dial encompassing the circular map, a disk or dial graduated and divided to indicate longitude and sun time on any meridian line or intervening lines, two indicating arms loosely pivoted to the center of the circular map, numerals indicating degrees of longitude on each of said arms, and apivoted joint for holding said arms together so the friction between them will be sufiieient to hold them one to the other at any point to which one may be moved on the other and permit both to be moved together by turning one, substantially as and for the purposes described.

Both zetetic astronomy and Christopher’s map made their way across the Atlantic and found adherents here in the United States, Alexander Gleason among them. The globe is 500 years old but this template is based on much older maps and true scientific testable repeatable observations.Contrary to popular belief fostered in countless school classrooms the world over, Christopher Columbus did not discover that the earth was round. Thus the time stands all ready computed to any child who is able to read the time of day from the face of an ordinary clock. This quite a smart map - the numbers around the outside of the central disc show that longitude and time zones can be calculated quite simply by flattening the globe.
