By Sperry Gyroscope Company, Inc. New York. Serial #20041. Used in Navy and Marines. All brass. Has been painted army green. Can be bolted down to ground. Sperry only made 50,000 of these--they were sold to our Allies before WWII. Stands at 53" tall, the compass is 13" diameter. Fairly large item, will be pick-up only. Extremely heavy. There is a rubber cord that fits into a panel when in use. This item was bought for $250 (BARGAIN!!!). This is a piece of American history. Seems to work just fine. Owner does not have any use for it, was just keeping it as a collectible. Questions are welcome. Thank you for your interest!     DON'T DELAY BID TODAY!   A gyrocompass is similar to a gyroscope. It is a compass that finds true north by using an (electrically powered) fast-spinning wheel and friction forces in order to exploit the rotation of the Earth. Gyrocompasses are widely used on ships. They have two main advantages over magnetic compasses: they find true north, i.e., the direction of Earth's rotational axis, as opposed to magnetic north, they are not affected by ferrous metal in a ship's hull. (No compass is affected by nonferrous metal, although a magnetic compass will be affected by non-ferrous wires with current running through them.)     Payment Information We prefer PayPal payments from confirmed addresses, but will accept unconfirmed addresses as well.
