STAR GLOBE I KELVIN & HUGHES LTD. I EPOCH 1975
Celestial globe gores. They form a set with Kelvin & Hughes Limited ZBA0324. Astronomical details on the gores are the same as Kelvin & Hughes Limited ZBA0092. Only stars are depicted and neither constellation figures nor contours are drawn. Above the title cartouche, there is a magnitude table in a rectangular cartouche. The stars are marked by their Bayer notation, and star names are printed in capital letters and are provided with a number, sometimes between brackets which apparently refers to a list of stars. A total of 83 stars are named. For full details about the cartography and construction of these gores please refer to the related publication, Globes at Greenwich.
