"Anschütz / Kreiselkimpass / Ohne Magnete" A kriselkompass (gyrocompass) is a compass that aligns itself with the meridian, making it a bound top tethered gyroscope that requires 2 -4 hours for proper alignment at sea. Since they work independently of the earth's magnetic field, they show the true north direction. This poster advertises Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe's patenting of the technical principle behind the gyrocompass in 1904. Artist: Von Loewe Year: c. 1920s Condition: Good; please take note of various paper imperfections before purchasing. This poster is linen-backed on canvas.
