Around the globe's equator is marked with the [[D'ni numerals]] from zero to twenty-four, representing the 25 "bells", or ''[[D'ni time#partahvo|partahvotee]]'', of the [[D'ni time|D'ni day]], with a dot midway between each numeral. The zero bell is represented by the "single digit 25" ( <dni>|</dni> ) symbol. A downward-facing magnifying lens is affixed to the pillar as well, allowing observers to see the current ''partahvo'' as marked out on the globe, and the globe rotates clockwise as viewed from the front. |
Before the [[fall of D'ni]], the bells were marked by actual chimes. However, if the ''gorahyantee'' were the source, the mechanism is no longer functional. | Before the [[fall of D'ni]], the bells were marked by actual chimes.
