Compass in Binnenacle Compass in Binnacle with Compass Card in Box, Compass in night house with pyramid shaped cap with a rose in a separate box. The night house 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 a hole for the pin at the bottom: the turning of the rose was improved by the materials used, while the rocking was reduced by the increase in the friction surface of the ruby., George
