"With the invention of the train, humans were able to cover great distances in a short time over different latitudes. This made it necessary to make agreements about the same clock time, whereby the differences between the latitudes were corrected. The designers Konings and Bey wanted to show that the natural solar time is not exactly equal to the agreed clock time. In the arrow of the sundial you see two times: the natural time and the time as we use it after the applied corrections. Normally a sundial indicates the time by means of shadow. However, this is literally a sundial: the arrow indicates the position of the sun day and night"
