FLIGHT, 23 February 1951 \ 'vwatule E2A Aircraft Compass' Ideal as an emergency compass for installation in aircraft fitted with a remote indicating compass system or as the main compass in gliders or ultra-light aircraft, this tiny (approximately 2" x 2") eompass weighing only 3 ozs.—or the weight of nine pennies— is rapidly gaining favour with manufacturers and aircraft operators everywhere. The E2A Compass is now a standard fitment on ' Vampire,' ' Meteor ' and other fighter aircraft in the R.A.F. and Navy. The card, graduated in 10° intervals, is designed to minimise parallax errors, and compensation for co-efficients ' A,' ' B ' and ' C ' is incorporated in the design. Further particulars regarding this high grade Kelvin Hughes instrument will gladly be given on request. v • * Developed for the Ministry of Supply at the Admiralty Compass Observatory.
