Geoscope:
"The geoscope has the same relationship to the Earth as one of the lifeboats on the davits of the Queen Mary has to the Queen Mary. If the Queen Mary turns the lifeboat does likewise, retaining the same relative position to the keel. If the Queen Mary rolls the lifeboat rolls.
“The 4,000-mile parallax from the center of the Earth to the Geoscope at the Earth’s surface is inconsequential… You can see the Earth revolving faster at the equator.”
