Visitor stands centered in the curve of the cylinder and places finger on crossbar as directed. Shadow of finger indicates the time. A prototype was designed by Victor E. Edwards and donated to the EcoTarium (then called the Museum of Science) by the Worcester Host Lions Club in November 1982 to commemorate their 60th anniversary. Surrounding the sundial are four posts for mounting telescopes. Those posts are still there in the new sundial plaza.
