- Description:
- The sundial is a cement globe of the earth 28 inches in diameter inclined at 40 degrees, a bit off the site's 38' 20" N latitude. The globe is oriented with the site longitude on the upper meridian so that shadows across the globe represent the true sun angle at that moment. A rod through the globe casts a shadow onto the north polar regions in the summer. At the southern end is a small equatorial dial with hour lines from 8am to 4pm.
- Inscription:
- Inscription at base "FROM THESE ALL THINGS ON EARTH EVOLVE". On west side is a plate with "Carl W. Shatto, President of the Sebastopol Rotary Club in 1938-1939"
