Clinometer Compass
Product Code : JA-NS-3430
The clinometer compass (SKU JA-NS-3430) is a reproduction of an antique clinometer handle compass. Held level, its handle-shaped peep sights give the magnetic heading of an object; tilted on its side, a weighted pendulum arm reads the angle of elevation or depression on three scales. A needle lift protects the jewel and arm in transport. It is supplied by JaincoLab for collectors, display and simple field demonstrations.
Specifications
The clinometer compass has handle-shaped peep sights, a compass needle with needle lift mechanism, and a weighted pendulum arm read on three scales: degrees from the zenith, degrees of elevation, and inches per yard of slope; size and finish are confirmed on the quotation.
