Setting up and fixing.
We will set up your armillary for the latitude they will be delivered to, which will be your address unless you specified a different one when you place your order. At midday stand with your back to the sun, you are now facing north.Place the sundial on the plinth with the arrow or top sphere facing away from you, now move out of the way to let the sun shine on the dial and note that the gnomon ( arrow shaft ) casts ahadow on the hour band, turn the armillary until the shadow is at the 12 o'clock mark and fix the sphere down at this position.
