    Overall, very well done, though the inside of the compass should of been black, so that the dial could be seen easier in the dark, with no light reflection at night.

    'VEB Geräte- und Reglerwerke Teltow' is indeed the identification of the manufacturing plant. 'Teltow' is the actual place of the factory, located on the outskirts of Berlin. 'VEB' means 'Volkseigener Betrieb' roughly translating to 'State owned business/company/firm'. What it means is, that it was made before the reunification of Germany in 1990 in east Germany (GDR / DDR).
    It is an analogue pilot boat compass. It would have been integrated into a navigation post on the bridge of any decent mid size boat. The ones I know of were attached to a cylindrical housing about waist-high and in such a way that it could spin / rotate on all free axis. These were mass produced and exported or used by other Soviet aligned states.
    It is a nice piece you got there and it turned out well. Good work!

      Yep. And that also means anything with "Made in West Germany" printed on it is at least 32 years old. Like some of the parts on my ancient BMW motorcycle.

      Was it military? I only ask because it''s rather nice brass work, and I know from my father that brass work was painted over on ships in wartime. Saved him a lot of polishing.

    The two axis allows the compass to stay stabilized even in houghest seas.

    I’m sure you already know this but the reason it was black was to reduce the reflection and make it easier to see when you’re actually on a boat

    I like the way you built the rest of the gimbal for the compass.
    For use on a vessel, you want the housing to be black inside.
    The diaphragm in the bottom is designed to move with expansion of the missing compass fluid.
    That’s why there is an “O” ring seal, as well as a washer under the knurled nut.
    You can make DIY fluid using a mixture of mineral spirits and liquid paraffin lamp oil.
    50:50 ratio is probably fine.

    4:03 Раз есть сильфон, значит компас был заполнен жидкостью. Сильфон - это дорго богато - обычно просто резиновая мембрана на тех, что подешевле. Компенсирует расширение/сжатие жидкости при разных температурах. Жидкость предотвращает вибрацию и дрожание указателя и делает его вращение плавным.

    Great restoration and an excellent job building the base!!!

    The counterweight is actually a component of the Gimbal. It allowed the compass itself to stay steady despite the ships movement, so navigation would be accurate even on storm tossed seas. Erm... I'm a geek! 🙃

    • @robertlevine2152
      @robertlevine2152 2 роки тому +1

      Magnetic compasses do not use lead, at least not those I am familiar with. My guess is that the ring is made of steel and is adjustable so the compass deviation can be adjusted. If you think of the big steel balls on a binacle compass. Another indication it isn't lead is that it could be sanded. My guess is lead would clog the sandpaper.

      🔴 What Is Islam?
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.
