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?]
