I have an expensive auto compass -- but I've lost the instructions --
with a wire in which both halves are black, but one side is marked
with grey or white rectangles. Which one is the ground?

Most likely the side with the rectangular markings is negative. Batteries
have + (positive) and - (negative markings)


Thanks
