2021-019 Compass - This is a stack of 19 images. From my research, it looks like the average number of images to use is somewhere between 30 and 50. As I expected, there are mechanical aids to help maintain consistent microadjustments. Now I just have to decide how much I'm willing to invest in such aids. :)

Near Bude in Cornwall... Compass point has very unique rock formations. This one looks like a bit like a long dinosaur neck skeleton.
Sundays are slow so be liberal on the comment side and I'll happily return the compliment as usual :D

Compass Bus' DAF DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini LJ05 BNK, which carries the company's corporate livery, is pictured here on Queens Road, Brighton, whilst working Brighton & Hove's 7X service to Brighton Station. 02/08/16
Previously with Arriva London South as fleet number DW126.
The summer of 2016 saw the introduction of a new limited-stop variant of service 7. The service, numbered 7X, provides a faster, more scenic link from Brighton Marina to Brighton Station. It runs at a 20-minute frequency along the seafront via Marine Parade stopping only at Paston Place (forCounty Hospital), then non-stop to the Sea Life Centre, Old Steine and North Street.
Due to staff shortages, Brighton & Hove worked closely with other local operators to support specific services. The company sub-contracted this service out to Compass Bus, using a pair of VDL DB250/Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles recently acquired by the company, from Arriva London South.
In addition to this, Brighton & Hove also sub-contracted its 77 service out to Seaford & District. Closed-top double-deck vehicles were allocated on weekdays, and open-top / heritage vehicles were allocated on weekends.
My husband got me this lovely, palm-sized vintage compass at a ship salvage shop and antique dealer in Bangladesh. The walnut-toned wood box has a metal label reading "Negretti & Zambra, as does the compass itself, both on the cover, and under the glass on the rose's face. The outside of the compass lid reads "Edward VII Compass King & Emporer 1908". The date, 1908, and the word, "London" is inscribed on the compass rose under the glass. The compass has a fob, as well as a sliding knob to lock the floating needle in place when not in use.
The poem, Robert Frost's "The Road Less Taken" has been engraved on brass-toned metal and appears to have been attached to the inside cover. This poem dates to 1915 and was not really considered a classic until the mid-1920s. I'm assuming that the inscription was added later, particularly because the font-styles are more modern.
My husband isn't sure if the compass actually dates to 1908. Negretti & Zambra manufactured compasses, telescopes, monocules, barameters and other scientific items during this time period, but I was unable to find a similar compass style during a fairly comprehensive Internet search.
If you know anything about vintage compasses, please leave a comment. No matter whether this is a reproduction or an actual antique, it is still a wonderful addition to my collection of cartography and geographic ephemera.

The Geomantic Compass
The geomantic compass used in Feng Shui evaluations is called the luopan in Chinese meaning "all" and "bowl". It is said that all the knowledge pertaining to the physics and flow of energies of the planet is written inside the compass.
The original Geomantic Compass had 36 rings, whereas, the most recent ones are simpler and have from 8 to 24 rings. In these rings, aside from the needle always pointing North/South, we find the correct information to do a perfect feng shui evaluation. The concentric circles of the compass contain the numbers of the Magic Squares (9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1), the 8 Trigrams of the I Ching (Yiying) and their corresponding directions, as well as the Heavenly Stems and Earth Branches. Also in the circles are contained the 28 equatorial divisions which are an important part of the evaluation because they help determine not only the ideal site, but the correct place for that particular individual to live.
In order for a feng shui evaluation to be accurate and correct the compass must be used. This is because the individual must be evaluated as to their personal data first in order to proceed with the terrain (topography) and site evaluation for that particular person. For example, in South Florida we have flat land with some areas below sea level. We also have swampy grasslands which are not favorable because stagnant water can attract negative energies. Using the compass we can determine the correct site to avert the negative energies of the stagnant water. This also apply to areas crowded with buildings, particularly apartment buildings.
Got directions? LOL

Compass Rallye Commodore 340 caravan. This was the first caravan I owned and is seen here on a campsite near Kendal, Cumbria.
Taken in Salcombe on the last day of July. Plenty of these in our increasing warm coastal waters. I even managed a sea swim 2 days in a row last week. Unheard of for me! Then I saw a few of these and just stayed knee deep !
Following withdrawal, ex Midland Fox "Fox Cub" G239 EOA spent around eighteen months with Compass Travel in West Sussex. The Iveco 49-10 Carlyle minibus is seen at Worthing Pier on 29th November, 2000.
Compass Bus took over service 32 on 1st June 2015, following previous operator Arriva's decision its financial performance was not good enough - Compass won the resulting Surrey CC tender process.
Four new Enviro200s were acquired for the route.
The fourth arrival, YY15 NHM, is seen here, the skirt on its emergency exit door painted brown since I'd last seen it.
It's performing the route's double run through Brockham to Strood Green and back, while heading to Guildford.

One of the most common symbols of Freemasonry is the crossed compass and set-square. The compass and square are architect’s tools, and symbolize God as the architect of the universe, among other things.
As measuring instruments, the tools represent judgment and discernment.
The compass, which is used to draw circles, represents the realm of the spiritual- eternity. It is symbolic of the defining and limiting principle, and also of infinite boundaries.
The angle measures the square, the symbol of earth and the realm of the material. The square represents fairness, balance, firmness, etc., which is reflected in phrases such as “on the square” and “squared away.” Something that is squared is something that is stable, a foundation for building upon.
Together, the compass and square represent the convergence of matter and spirit, and the convergence of earthly and spiritual responsibilities. The two symbols together form a hexagram, the union of earth with the heavens, matter and mind, etc.

This Compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) is swimming along beside Lundy Island (owned by the National Trust) complete with a little fish in symbiotic relationship.
According to www.marlin.ac.uk "Chrysaora hysoscella has a thickened bell (manubrium) that can grow up to 30 cm in diameter. The edges of the bell are developed into 32 lobes and bear 24 marginal tentacles. These are arranged in eight groups of three which alternate with eight sensory organs and are capable of great elongation. The marginal tentacles are conical in shape with a flattened thicker base giving the jellyfish a fluted appearance. They are also covered with clusters of stinging cells (nematocysts). It has a long and slender manubrium which leads onto 4 oral arms that are fused for a short distance at its base. Typically Chrysaora hysoscella is yellowish white in colour with a highly distinctive brown pattern like the radii of a compass."
