A little way in from the periphery and at the twenty four hour divisions, are shown the hours of the day in Roman numerals, indicated by the letter, E, and commencing the reckoning of time from Greenwich, London, or on the line F. Thus the time stands all ready computed to any child who is able to read the time of day from the face of an ordinary clock.

Haven't received it yet but I'm excited to know I'll have in my possession the most acurate map of the world. For present-day believers in the flat earth theory, the fact that this map exists in the holdings of a prestigious and historic public library offers a whiff of conspiracy: why would we have a map that shows a flat earth “as it is”?You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The map is not so extorted as to lose the relative latitude and longitude of any places on the land or sea, but retains all latitudes and longitudes of places agreeing with other recognized authors; and as the proper relations of continents and countries all stand in their relative position to each other, they are thus impressed upon the mind of the student. Gleason has successfully demonstrated his theory in regard to our planet, he will doubtless take possession of the earth in the name of his native city.

Many maps fit easy-to-find standard size frames 16x20, 16x24, 18x24, 24x30, 24x36, saving on custom framing. Be it known that I, ALEXANDER GLEASON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved 'limeChart, of which the following is a specification.

On the contrary, he said that he made the map from a globe, which explains how a north-pole centered azimuthal equidistant map is designed.

David Goldhaber-Gordon, a professor of physics at Stanford University, said that while flat maps are convenient, “a flat map of a curved surface must have distortions,” and “different mappings create different distortions. Gleason’s map could conceptually be made by placing a flat horizontal paper just above a translucent globe whose north pole is at the top; then placing a bright LED at the south pole and making each feature according to where its shadow falls on the paper,” Goldhaber-Gordon said.This was a modern-day flat-Earth theory according to which the Earth is a circular plane centered on the North Pole and bounded by ice, with the sun, planets and stars in motion only a few thousand miles above its surface. Somehow Gleason got hold of Christopher’s map and republished it, not once, but twice, albeit with his own modifications. This object also tells an interesting modern tale about the role of institutions in constructing the truth.
