The lensatic compass is the typical military field compass, and is used principally to measure or lay out magnetic bearings. It can also be used to orient a map. The "lensatic" means that the rear sight is provided with a lens that allows you to read the dial while your eye is close to the rear sight, as it should be. The lid of the compass opens up to provide a slot with a cross hair as the front sight. This cross hair is actually a sturdy metallic wire. When you sight a distant object, the magnetic bearing can be read from the dial to an accuracy of a degree or two, with care. The whole dial rotates, and the magnetic needle is out of sight below it. There are luminous lines and letters on the dial and the cover glass that allow use in the dark, though bearings must be set previously in the light. Made of cast alloy and glass. ![]() Powered by ProStores |
