Cardan Compass Ref: LH-H43

HEMISFERIUM

The Cardan or marine compass is a nautical instrument whose use was fundamental in the development of navigation and cartography.

New types of compasses were devised because the rock and pitch of a vessel make ordinary compasses useless.

Ships' compasses were mounted in a Cardan suspension, which allowed them to remain constantly level.
