The World's Time on Land and Sea

6/18/2016

 
What do you know? It's another subject "at a glance"! This time it's time. If you find yourself in Formosa and need to place a call to Rhodesia, then this wheel is the key to helping you make sure you aren't waking someone up at 4:30 in the morning. It's a bit large, though: 10.75 inches. But it's a sturdy wheel with an intriguing design. Only the tiny, lovingly-perforated disc in the center moves.

A gentleman in Bombay inscribed his name to this wheel on May 1, 1934. Don't you love his handwriting? Perhaps he was glad that it includes St. Helena.
