<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 357918, member: 54&quot;]Been reading up on compasses and found civilseek.com which has a description of a surveyor’s compass, the dial markings of which match friend’s compass.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>“In a Surveyor Compass, the ring is divided into four quadrants and graduations are made from 0 to 90 degrees in each quadrant.</p><p><br /></p><p>0 degrees is marked at the North and South points, and 90 degrees is marked at the east and west points.”</p><p><br /></p><p>So knowing the species seems like major progress; narrows things down a lot.&nbsp; I did look thru what must have been over 100 surveyor’s compasses on the link HollyB. gave above (thanks again!) and will have to do that again.&nbsp; Information overload![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
