Julie,
This sounds like what they want, but with a 1981 date they could be hard
to
find. The set had Earth, the moon, Mars and Mercury. The Earth globe had
rather detailed ocean bottoms.
Sincerely,

Hi all,
I've got a request from a faculty member to purchase some globes for
classroom use. I've searched for a day or two and have come up empty
handed. Perhaps one of you could help.
First, he wants a very detailed globe that shows the ocean floor. I
have
found one called Land & Ocean Globe. It is not detailed enough.
Second, he is looking for a set of globes depicting the Earth, the moon,
and Mars (and possibly Venus) in correct scale to one another. I don't
want one of the small solar system simulators where the sun is in the
center and the planets revolve around it. If I could find a set where
Mars
was about 16" in diameter and the others in relative size, that would be
great.
Any help would be appreciated! I've got our physics/astrophysics
librarian
on the hunt as well.
Julie
