Reversing the polarity of a magnetic compass
Vortex3 wrote:
Hello, I have 2 magnetic compasses, one of which for some mysterious reason has reversed polarity ie. red points south!!!! Pic he http://home.btconnect.com/vortex/paradox.jpg The RH compass in the picture is correct. The LH compass is a really nice 35 year old SILVA "Type 4" that points precisely 180 degrees in the wrong direction. I have no idea how this happened. Bear in mind the needle is in a sealed oil filled housing, it is not practically possible to dismantle it! Can anybody suggest a non-destructive method to correct this? D On one write "Red = North"; on the other write "Red = South". -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset.
