Invented in 1785 by Rousseau, a Parisian engineer of mathematical and horological instruments, this piece of apparatus allowed watches, pendulum clocks and public clocks to be set to true midday.

Our shadow length at True Noon ranged from 64 cm to 72 cm for an average of 68 cm and the Sun’s Angle ranged from 32 degrees to 38 degrees.
