Gimbaled Compasses |
| A gimbal compass is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of two gimbals compass, one mounted on the other with pivot axes orthogonal, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal compass to remain vertical regardless of the motion of its support. For example, gyroscopes, shipboard compasses, stoves and even drink holders typically use gimbals to keep them upright with respect to the horizon despite the ship's pitching and rolling.
Our heart stirring range of gimbaled compasses are engineered to make you reminisce of the yesteryears. These compasses are available in classic styles and antique designs to give our connoisseurs countless options to choose from. |
