Description

* Rare Telescopic MINING, SURVEYING Compass *

A very handsome 19th century mining compass, called a Hedley Dial, both silvered face and telescope signed by the famous makers, "Stanley London". This unusual and scarce form of instrument is illustrated in the 1902 book, The Evolution of Mine Surveying Instruments. It incorporates a beveled limb compass with two verniers to the railroad-type movement, two level bubbles in the compass box, a vertical arc attached to a full gimballed ring with telescope and level vial attached in wye yoke uprights

The instrument is in very nice condition with most of the original finish and the original 4-screw leveling base and tripod (the later two items typically missing from these instruments). A very attractive and uncommon mining instrument in very good condition. A new reprint copy of the book, The Evolution of Mine Surveying (a $75 book), will accompany this instrument to the new owner.
