Compass in binnacle, George Stebbing, 1819 compass Compass in the nighthouse with pyramid -shaped hood with a rose in a separate box. The nighthouse has a door at the front. The four sides of the hood are made of glass; Two of them are closed with a copper plate, the third with such a plate on which a lamp holder is mounted. The lamp is missing. The compass rose has a brass cap in the middle with hole in front of the pen at the bottom: the rotation of the rose was improved by the materials used, while fluctuating by increasing the ruby's friction surface was reduced. Portsmouth wood (plant mat
