- Description
- A handheld hinged plastic and metal compass; the top side/lid (the surface of which extends 2.0cm further than the metal container/box) is the compass in clear plastic which is hinged onto a black metal container. The obverse side of the plastic lid, containing the compass, also serves as a ruler measuring in. and cm. The compass can be seen through the clear plastic top; the outside circular window is rimmed in metal with “PAT. SW. 152750 US 2824382 CAN. 542358 SWISS 314681 NORW. 89197 MADE IN SWEDEN FOR SILVA LTD. TORONTO, CANADA. The compass is closer to the left at the hinge where there are two rivets and a filled hole on either side, a white dot and then on the extended part three filled holes and two rivets for the opposite side metal loop and copper latch. The metal side of the box has two rivets by the hinge, two at the other end and one near the latch. The middle right of the inside lid has an outline of a tree in the rhc and the trademark “SILVA” underneath, then “THE RANGER”. Cm. marked off on top and cm. and mm. on the bottom. The inside face dial is calibrated in degrees starting with 360, every 20 degrees marked in numbers, i.e. 40, 60, 80, 100 and so on until it reaches 360. The metal ring has one screw attaching it to the compass between N and E, and one rivet on the letter N. On the outside face there is an outline of an arrow in black with two white dots on each side and there are six red diagonal lines across the compass face. The compass needle is half red and half white. The inside part starts at W docl. 40 calibrated to 20 and by degrees to 20 again and then to 40 E docl. The plastic lid has a riveted metal loop (at the centre edge) through which a green woven cotton shoelace is threaded through (for carrying or hanging); the shoelace ends are tied, securing a small metal pointer. Beneath that is a riveted copper piece of latch which fits into a catch on the container side. The black metal container is hinged onto the lid by four rivets. A mirror (which is cracked horizontally and held together by two strips of surgical tape) has a black line lengthwise and is attached with four rivets. The catch has two rivets on either side.

- Description

The compass is two-sided; one side is calibrated for a directional compass and one side is for measuring inches to miles and nautical miles (on maps). The compass is suspended on a central pivot with a metal ring on the top. The compass has a round face covered by hard clear plastic; the body of the compass is metal.

On the directional side of the compass face the background is white and the letters and numbers are blue. The magnetic compass needle is half silver, half blue. The face dial is calibrated in degrees starting with 0, every 10 degrees marked to 330, completing the 360 degrees; N, E, S, and W and the lines marking them from the centre are in bold face blue N/E, S/E, S/W and N/W are in blue but smaller lettering. On the opposite side of the compass the outer ring is blue and the inner ring is orange, the background is white with the degrees in black; the needle is black also. The outer “inches to miles” compass has 39 on the top and every fifth degree is calibrated to 3, then 6, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36 where it comes full circle to the top at 39. The inner “Nautical Miles” starts with 0 at the top and every 10th degree is marked in succession by 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, until it comes full circle to 0. The word “GERMANY” is printed at the bottom of the compass.
