    From a Compass Adjuster/repairer of 40 years' experience:
    The screw that "you never found the purpose of" (@ 10:57) is actually the most important part of the compass. Under it there is a sits a jewel (like a watch jewel) which sits on the central pivot to make sure the compass card can rotate freely. Both the jewel and the pivot point should have been changed as part of the overhaul.
    A ships compass is never polished. They are always painted a MATT grey or black to avoid glare and sun reflections

      Then why make the compass out of brass? At least it looks like brass wouldn't other materials be better if your just gonna put a thick matt coat of paint on top? I don't doubt you at all but I'm just curious.

    This is a old compass from H. Iversen Optisk Forretning. The company was located in Trondheim, Norway, and marked its compasses with "T.Hjem". The early compasses made by H. Iversen was named "Neptun". The compass must be from before 1919, since they separated out the compass business that year and discontinued using the name "Neptun". Great video, thanks!

    You should remove some of the fluid from the compass so that there is an air bubble. The liquid expands and contracts with temperature and without an air bubble it will crack the glass. The air bubble will compress whereas the liquid can't.

    • @Murgoh

      The bottom of the compass has concentric "corrugations" for this exact purpose, they allow the container to flex as the fluid expands.

    Absolutely great work. I have and always use Teflon square stock that I can freshen up and custom shape when having to pry and punch apart or drive out soft metal and materials, like brass. Never leaves a mark, hard and easily custom shaped. Screw drivers and pry tools always mark up the material. You can use tapered wedges to part and split materials like nobody's business. Once ya use the stuff, you'll keep finding ways to custom up the material.

    The mechanism for keeping it level is called a gimble , they work very well even in rough seas , as ypu showed with your test rig . The bowl would normally be filled with a light oil to help dampen the compass rose otherwise it can move to freely . Quite a rudimenrtary compass without the 360 gegree markins on it , used to know the markings on that one off by hart but forget most of them now

    A year late, but.. Didn't see any responses to the "odd screw" in the top of the compass float. It's a plug to seal it. Once filled with oil, checked for leaks. and emptied before setting it on the pintle. That screw prevents oil (or water) in the housing from entering the float. I'm actually surprised the interior of the housing was painted instead of nickel plated.

That's is also one of the reasons a compass is filled with liquid (to dampen the movement of the magnets inside (the other reason for liquid is to reduce friction between the magnets and the housing in the balancing point).
