The terrestrial globe surmounted by hour circle, within a calibrated chromed half meridian, raised on a square stepped black Bakelite base in the Art Deco style. This is a physical globe, with both land and ocean areas color coded to indicate elevation above sea level in feet, and below sea level in fathoms. Shipping routes, labeled with distances in nautical miles, and railways are also indicated.
