Show description

Induction globes were used in schools to demonstrate the relations in the spherical trigonometry and the mathematical geography as well as the mapping of geographical and geopolitical relations on the globe. The globe which was covered with a slate coating, could be used for answering tasks graphically, afterwards the chalk could be wiped off. The Columbus publisher offered three versions of Inductions globes, with or without graticule, with the diameter of 34, 37 and 50 cm.
