126 HANDBOOK OF MAGNETIC COMPASS 



The Fliixgate induction compass is an example of class (<?) above. 

 The compensation of this instrument is purely mechanical and is not 

 to be compared with compensation of the conventional magnetic com- 

 pass. This compass is not discussed specifically in this publication 

 inasmuch as its use is confined to special vessels where specifically 

 trained personnel are available for maintenance and service.
