Expand That's an OUTSTANDING idea, except Schrodinger died in 1961 and I'm guessing his cat is not only "dead", but is likely "dead" as well. But I do appreciate your sense of humor. Quote

Bob_Belville Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Every now and then I read a thread and wonder why I started. This is one of those. I should have known better, I did not need to read about compasses. I'm pretty sure I still have one on the center post... I may have accidentally looked at it in 2012. 2 Quote

carusoam Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 The last time we discussed Schrödinger and his purported cat... The cat was a Lynx 9000 WAAS GPS and Transponder with a touch screen in one. http://www.l-3lynx.com/tablet/index.html This device would beat the wet compass infinitely many times!

bradp Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 What happens if the cat has been neutered? Will the compass still be able to be calibrated? Quote

Expand Last time I looked at my compass was when it leaked fluid onto my pant leg. Spruce sold me a rebuild kit, and now that it doesn't leak I again ignore it. The magnetic compass is accurate enough to tell that the sun generally sets in a Westerly direction, at least in these latitudes. 2 Quote
Bob_Belville Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 Well I confirmed today that I do have a compass. I've been waiting for an opportunity to paint the center post. We're doing new windows so while the w'shield out I got it done. Had to remove the whiskey compass so I touched it up as well. Looks nice. Guess I ought to get it some fuzzy dice. 1 Quote
