Description
Details about the compass: Manufacturer: Tokyo Keiki Seizosho Co. Ltd., which later became TOKIMEC and is now TOKYO KEIKI INC. Type: This appears to be a magnetic compass designed for marine navigation, potentially a projection type or a standard binnacle compass component. Features: Gimbaled suspension: The outer rings and pivots visible in the image are part of a gimbal system, which keeps the compass card horizontal regardless of the vessel's pitch and roll. Compass card: The central part of the compass shows the cardinal points (N, E, S, W) and intercardinal points (NE, SE, SW, NW), along with a 360-degree scale for precise bearing readings. Historical Context: Tokyo Keiki has a long history in manufacturing marine navigation equipment, including gyrocompasses and magnetic compasses, complying with international maritime standards like IMO and ISO. Vintage examples of their compasses are sought after by collectors of nautical artifacts. Very heavy!
