Description
A good example of an Azimuth Circle dating from the early 20th Century. This navigational instrument is used with a compass to measure the horizontal direction of an object or celestial body. In marine navigation this is used to help determine a ship's position and plot its course.
The instrument is contained within its original good quality wooden box with sliding lid. It has a makers label on the top for" Dobbie McInnes & Clyde Ltd. Marine & Mechanical Makers to the British Admiralty. Glasgow".
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
