Compass
World War One British Army officer's dry compass.
Housed in a case similar to that of a pocket watch this
compass has a magnetised dial card mounted on a sharp pivot to
allow it to rotate freely. When the lid is closed, a small lever
raises the needle from the pivot stopping any movement inside the
case.
