Description
A sloop compass in the original wooden box with lit. The compass with floating rose (Cardan system). Slung in gimbals, the east point is decorated and graduated in half points and decorated N & E points.
The cardan suspension system, also called a gimbal, is a pivotal support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. If simultaneously assembled three rings, one on another by orthogonal rotation axes, an object placed inside the third ring always remains horizontal, regardless of the engaged turns of the other two rings.
The application of this gimbal system navigation was proverbial, since until that moment when, for reasons of bad weather, the ship tends to heel or continuously up by the effect of waves, a traditional compass was useless, making it virtually impossible navigation.
The gimbal system allowed the compass to remain horizontal, therefore, a continuing role, regardless of the boat's position.The gimbal compasses are still used today in both marine and aviation.
