About Replogle Globes:
- Globe size is expressed as diameter in inches.
- Antique ocean map: Ocean areas of the map have a classic parchment look, land details are in muted colors
- Blue ocean map: Water areas are colored blue, land details and national boundaries are more defined in brighter colors.
- Illuminated feature (if specified): Globe is made with a translucent map ball illminated from the inside by an incandescent light globe. Wiring and lamp holder are UL listed, 120 volt AC bulb supplied.
- Touch-on Illumination feature (if specified): Touching the metal meridian ring supporting the globe turns on and off the light, and may also dim the light. No fumbling for a switch. (Available on some larger globe models)
- Raised Relief feature (if specified): The map ball is formed so that mountainous areas protrude realistically -- you can "feel" the mountains. The "Atlantis" model also features raised relief ocean floor details.
- Gyro-Matic assembly or pivoted meridian ring (if specified): The map ball is mounted in a ring assembly similar to gimbal rings which permits the poles to be rotated 360 degrees so that the southern hemisphere can be viewed with ease without standing on your head.
