----------------------------Original message---------------------------- 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?] Alice Hudson Map Division, NYPL
