Obverse of Gunter quadrant Long Caption: This is a horary quadrant marked with Gunter scales and a surveyor's shadow square in the top third. The brass sights on the left edge are intact but the plumb and bob are missing. As is common with boxwood quadrants, the reverse has no nocturnal dial and has therefore not been photographed.
