Dolland Portable Sundial

Our wooden-boxed brass sundial is a completely self-contained portable instrument, inspired by a design from the 18th century instrument maker Peter Dolland, founder of a great optical empire. The original is in the London Science Museum.

Instruments like this were once used by explorers and navigators to tell the time anywhere in the world. For this to be possible, the gnomon, which casts the shadow, can be set for latitude on a sliding scale (to compensate for the apparent change in height of the sun); and the whole instrument oriented in the meridian by means of a magnetic compass in the base. A spirit level and height-adjustable legs ensure that the instrument is used upright.

Box measures 275 x 260 x 100mm (11" x 10" x 4")
