Image Brunton.JPG thumb 300px A standard Brunton Geo, used commonly by geologists A Brunton compass , properly known as the Brunton Pocket Transit , is a type of precision compass made by Brunton, Inc. of Riverton, WY Riverton , Wyoming . The instrument was patented in 1894 by a Canadian born Colorado geologist named David W. Brunton. Unlike most modern compasses, the Brunton Pocket Transit utilizes magnetic induction damping rather than fluid to damp needle oscillation. Although Brunton Inc. makes many other types of magnetic compasses, the Brunton Pocket Transit is a specialized instrument used widely by those needing to make accurate degree and angle measurements in the field. These people are primarily geologist s, but archaeologist s, environmental engineer s, and surveying surveyor s also make use of the Brunton s capabilities. The United States Army has adopted the Pocket Transit as the M2 Compass for use by crew served artillery . The Pocket Transit may be adjusted for Earth s magnetic field declination angle according to one s location on the Earth. It is used to get directional degree measurements azimuth through use of the Earth s magnetic field . Holding the compass at waist height, the user looks down into the mirror and lines up the target, needle, and guide line that is on the mirror. Once all three are lined up and the compass is level, the reading for that azimuth can be made.

A qibla compass or qiblah compass sometimes also called qibla qiblah indicator is a modified compass used by Muslims to indicate the direction to face to perform ritual parayers. In Islam , this direction is called qibla , and points towards the city of Mecca and specifically to the Kaaba Ka abah . While the compass, like any other compass, points north , the direction of prayer is indicated by marks on the perimeter of the dial, corresponding to different cities, or by a second pointer set by the user according to their own location. Al Biruni wrote his book Kitab Tahdid al Amakin, or the demarcation of the coordinates of cities to determine the qibla. ref http muslimheritage.com topics default.cfm?ArticleID 690 MuslimHeritage.com Topics Bot generated title ref To determine the proper direction, one has to know with some precision both the longitude and latitude of one s own location and those of Mecca, the city toward which one must face. Once that is determined, the values are applied to a spherical triangle, and the angle from the local meridian to the required direction of Mecca can be determined. The problem admits of more than one method of solution, and Al Biruni did his share in supplying the various methods in this book. ref Saliba G.
