The skills and esthetics of the past
were combined with modern technology to produce this kit of three working
instruments. Rendered with all the care of early craftsmen, and executed
in precision die-cut metallic surfaced cardboard, they effectively mirror
the heritage of earlier ages. They are:
-
NOCTURNAL: A 16th century instrument
for converting star-time to sun-time at sea.
-
SUNDIAL: To tell time from the lengthening
shadows cast by the sun
-
PERPETUAL CALENDAR: A functional instrument
which is accurate until the year 2016. SW 1 lb.
