MAG-13 MARINER’S COMPASS
It is a compass used for navigational purposes, consisting of a pivoted compass card in a gimbal-mounted, nonferrous metal bowl.
Here a metal bowl is positioned in a gimbal, hence the compass dial is suspended horizontally.
The magnetic needle is freely suspended so that in the Earth’s magnetic field, it turns until aligned with the magnetic North and South poles.
All the compass points are marked.
It is a pocket sized compass measuring 45mm in diameter.
It's available in two varieties:
- Mariner's compass in Aluminum
- Mariner's compass in Brass.
