Description: | A mine surveyor measures the landscape around a proposed pit and plans the positions of shafts, buildings and underground workings. One of the instruments he uses is a dial. A dial works like a compass. It uses the earth's magnetic field to indicate North and South. This dial was made in the 1800s by Cail, a Newcastle instrument maker. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East made in the North East coal mining industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
