Magnetic Compass Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-PLE-10224
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Magnetic Compass (Product ID: 10224) as part of its physics lab equipment range. It is a baseplate compass with a sighting mirror for taking bearings and following a route on a map.
Quick Answer
The transparent base plate carries a baseline and a parallel sighting line that point along the direction of travel, plus a graduated scale for judging distance against the map scale. The compass card is graduated in degrees, with the four cardinal points and meridian lines that line up with the meridians on a map. A sight lets you pick a landmark ahead, and the mirror in the folding cover reflects the card so you can check the bearing while sighting. Closed, the cover protects the card.
