It shows solar and lunar eclipses the motion of Venus in relation to the Sun and the rotation. The globe shows the major continents and cities with no internal political divisions except for the continental United States & Alaska shaded in green on the North American continent. The Tellurion or Tellurium was patented by Alexander Laing originally in 1897 as an educational device to be used in schools. He set up operations in Detroit MI and was later bought out by the Trippensee brothers who introduced their own version with a more reliable bicycle-style chain and gear drive and they sold them steadily. In order to further diversify the company they also built the Eddie Rickenbacker automobile for the E-M-F Company until 1927 when the Everitt Company went under. Trippensee brothers moved later to Saginaw Michigan where they occupied a three-story building at the corner of Cass and South Hamilton staying in business until 1999 when they were purchased by Science First. Their Orrery planetariums were made originally from wood and brass then Bakelite and finally plastics. See: Mark Theobald Coachbuiltcom Trippensee Manufacturing Company Rickenbacker Motors.
