True north meridian indicator

A meridian indicator comprising a base plate, an inclined plate disposed at a selected angle to said base plate, an hourly graduated arcuate plate, means rotatively supporting said arcuate plate upon said inclined plate, a rectangular style plate, means supporting a first edge of said style plate at a selected angle to the inclined plate, adjustable means for angularly positioning said style plate at a selected angle relative to a horizontal plane, a weighted string means attached to a second edge of said style plate which is perpendicular to said first edge, apertures in the inclined plate and the arcuate plate positioned so that said weighted string means ajustably passes therethrough, and a latitude scale means disposed on said inclined plate and juxtapositioned to said weighted string means as it passes through said apertures, and equation of time correction scale means disposed upon said arcuate plate, and a longitude scale means disposed upon said inclined plate in juxtaposition to said equation of time correction scale means, said arcuate plate having hourly graduations so that when said first edge of said style plate is pointing to true north, the shadow cast by either the sun of said first edge or a third edge parallel to said first edge of said style plate falls correctly upon an hourly graduation upon said arcuate plate to read true solar time.
