     O.K. gang, a little summer challenge from one of our readers
 
     What are all the named parts of a globe?
 
     Is there a nice illustration somewhere that does this? We do not
     really aggressively collect globes here, and the few globe manuals and
     texts found, really do not name the various bells and whistles that
     might cling happily to your personal globe.
 
     You know, "horizon ring," "analemma" and all that...
 
     This seems to be such an obvious thing, but I can't seem to put my
     hands on it.  Come to think of it, I am not sure anyone has done this
     for a typical map either. [Is there a typical map?]
