The Compass Principles offer aspirational guidelines for what constitute quality in innovation and execution of basic financial services—those that allow people to transact, borrow, save and plan in ways that are beneficial to the consumer and profitable for industry.
The Compass Camera was manufactured by the Swiss watch-makers Le Coultre et Cie for the Compass Cameras Ltd., based in London. It was conceived and designed by Noel Pemberton Billing, an airman and Member of Parliament. The camera was launched in March 1937, and it was at least available in London until 1941.
It is a rectangular aluminium-bodied rangefinder camera, made for 24×36mm exposures on plates. The body is machined from a solid block of aluminium, measuring a mere 30 ×53 ×70mm (1¼;×21/8×2¾in) in size with the lens closed, weighing 220g (7¾oz). Special 8-exposure films were available, and later also an 828 roll film back, made by T. A. Cubitt.
In 1939 an improved model, the Compass II, was introduced. It was offered as a free upgrade to original Compass owners. About 5000 cameras in total were made before production was prevented by war.
The Compass is extraordinarily well-equipped for such a small package; it has two optical viewfinders, one at a right-angle, a ground glass focusing screen with a folding loupe, a built-in lens cap, three filters, an extinction meter and a spirit level. There is also a rotating fitting for the tripod bush in the base with five click stops allowing for panoramic and stereo pictures. The shutter ran from 4½s-1/500s.
The retractable lens is a 35mm f3.5 Kern anastigmat with a shutter speeded from 4.5s. to 1/500s.
The Compass was available in a kit, which could include a small, elegant tripod, fitted with a pocket clip, a cable-release, a small leather case or a larger fitted box taking the accessories.

The IAEA offers comprehensive capacity building support to help States meet their international nuclear safeguards obligations. This event will highlight such assistance, namely the IAEA State System of Accounting for and Control of Nuclear Material Advisory Service (ISSAS) and the IAEA Comprehensive Capacity-Building Initiative for SSACs and SRAs (COMPASS). Participants will learn about the achievements, contributions, support, and future plans in helping States implement effective and efficient safeguards.

We had a flood. Our washing machine pumped water out onto the floor for an hour before we noticed. That was about 6 weeks ago. Builders checked the floor and found that it needed replacing. The whole floor from the utility room through the kitchen to the hall including this motif has to come up. The insurance is paying of course so everything will be as good as new except for our compass. We had it put in 5 years ago when we moved in but the company no longer makes the colours we chose. We can still have a compass but not in these colours. I have to say the colours don't show up to well now I've uploaded the picture but there is a slight purple tint to the darker outer circle and the darkest points of the compass are a darker purple. The colours do look better in the larger size.
As I type a builder is ripping the kitchen apart and this compass has already been removed. He managed to get it off in one piece though and we may be able to use it for something. I'm considering making a table top from it.

Arriva Kent & Surrey decided that service 32, taken on commercially (with de minimis funding) in September 2012 as part of phase 3 of Surrey CC's Bus Review, was not performing adequately.
Surrey CC thus tendered for the route, with Compass Bus winning the new contract and taking over the service on Monday 1st June 2015. This expanded their operations from their Dunsfold base (which also runs the 42).
Arriva's last day was Saturday 30th May 2015. They had run the service since the demise of Tillingbourne in 2001.
Seen here in Earlswood is Compass Bus SK15 HBC. It's just turned into Brambletye Park Road from Emlyn Road, while taking the off peak 'extra' section of 32 route.
Peak journeys run straight along St John's Road.

Compass Royston's Volvo B12B/Jonckheere SHV, which carries a plain cream base livery with company fleet names, is pictured here on Station Square, Whitby. 12/07/17
New to Proctors of Leeming Bar; this vehicle was previously registered as FJ60EJV, carrying a distinctive and luxurious black livery when new in mid-2010. In line with the company taking on more work for Lochs & Glens Holidays, the vehicle was repainted into a simple cream base livery with Lochs & Glens fleet names in early 2011.
In early 2017, this vehicle passed to the fleet of Compass Royston. Unusual for the company, the coach remained in the cream base livery, with company fleet names added, rather than the more common white.
