Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides clear and easy-to-follow instructions for two methods of compass compensation, with or without bearings. Both techniques use detectors to measure the directive force and offer practical rules for placing magnets and spheres to ensure an accurate compass reading. Historically, compass compensation was a time-consuming and expensive process, but the author's simplified methods have made it accessible and economical for all. He details the history of compass development, offering a new perspective on this essential navigation instrument. The author argues that compensation is not only advantageous but necessary for accurate and reliable navigation. It is essential for avoiding errors of course and the dangers they entail, particularly in today's fast-paced maritime environment with high-speed ships and congested shipping lanes. The book concludes with a plea for the wider adoption of the author's compensation methods to improve maritime safety and efficiency.
