"A Sun-dial on the Hand" by Dr. Gustave Schaefer, Librarian of the Museum of Arts and Trades, Basle - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1949 Swiss magazine. Text in the article is in English.

The opening sentences of the article read:

"Because of mechanical clocks the precision of which can hardly be increased to a higher degree, sundials which indicated the time with greater or lesser accuracy have disappeared. However, are there any amongst us who have not asked themselves, during the course of a sunny day, 'Sun, what time is it?'"

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]

The article is 4 pages in length (on 2 sheets of paper) and includes a few small black and white diagrams within the text.

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age. There are also a couple of small bends and marks on the pages.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
