Vintage Compasses

A compass is a navigational instrument used to determine direction relative to either Earth's magnetic or rotational poles. A magnetic compass consists of a pointer that aligns itself to Earth's magnetic field. Compasses can be as simple as a magnetized needle floating in a dish of water (as used in China sometime before 1044) to modern gyrocompasses and solid state devices.
