About
Magnetic compass on universal joint in its original wooden box with slot lid, signed Sestrel in the early 1900s. The compass consists of a cylindrical vessel of brass and bronze, called a mortar, on the bottom of which is fixed a hard metal stem, called a sensitive element, on which the compass card rests so that zero coincides with the magnetic polarity . To minimize friction, the mortar is filled with liquid with a low freezing point, also having the purpose of quickly dampening any oscillations of the complex and closed at the top by a sturdy protective glass. Excellent condition, fully functional. Box size 20 x 20 x 13 cm - 7.87 x 7.87 x 5.11 inches, compass diameter 13 cm - 5.11 inches.
