Description: | LMa.2. (old departmental catalogue number in aluminium paint). 2b ( number from Anderson's account of Dick's catalogue in red varnish on white varnish disc). MANU Unsigned. [first half 18th century] This item was originally listed as a "Mariner's needle". However, this compass was designed for use on land and may have been used in conjuction with a sundial. The confusion may have arisen because the compass rose has 32 divisions (similar to those on a mariner's compass). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
