World: "Tele-Time--Tells time of day, and day of the week, all over the world", 1932
Scope and Contents
"Tells the time of day and the day of the week in all parts of the earth, when it is a given time at any particular place. The 'world disk' and the 'hour disk' operate together to illustrate clearly what happens in nature, in representing the apparent revolution of the time zones (which follow the sun) around an apparently stationary earth."
