Essential if one wants to fly in the right direction.
Whenever a significant change is made to an airframe it is necessary to Swing the compass to determine the small errors that residual magnetic fields in the structure have on the compass.
Those errors are recorded on the Compass Card. As can be seen from this card, the errors in this compass are only one or two degrees.

This is my Silva compass. Part of its perspex base has broken off. It's little used now that Google Maps and OS maps online make instruments like this almost obsolete. However, it does not need batteries, nor does it lose its signal, so still useful as a backup. Probably about fifty years old now and still working.

"Compass Rose," a mixed media piece. The background picture is a picture of -- wait for it -- garlic knot crumbs in olive oil -- and the top picture is a mirrored picture of a bridge. Both were edited from the mundane into bubblegum magicalness. What kind of world do you think this compass would be for?

My grandfather fought in the Somme and as his birthday is due, This compass was issued to him as an officer during that conflict. He never spoke of his time in the trenches and was gassed twice. He lived to the ripe old age of 93 having worked on the Railways before and during privatisation. He was appalled at what happened to his beloved railway, he refused my Father permission to join the railway and he subsequently became a solicitors clerk before he joined the RAF. My Grandfather was also serving in the ATC and the scouts at the same time.
The compass is still accurate today as it was over a hundred years ago.
The Golden Compass is an anti-Christian movie, based on an anti-Christian book. I agree with this, having read and enjoyed all three books in the series. Note I say enjoyed. I’ve read all sorts of heretical books. They didn’t prevent me from eventually rejecting atheism and finding faith any more than the New York Times did.
Compass in particular is not just any sort of heretical book. It is Gnostic in its theology. The God of Christianity who created the world and angels and the carnal and spiritual natures of man is split, in the Gnostic conception, onto two gods: The Creator who begat angels and human spirits then withdrew from his creation; and the Demiurge who imprisoned the spirit sparks of mankind in gross matter and doomed them to hell while demanding worship as Yahweh. Gnosticism, then, reverses the moral relation between Lucifer the Lightbringer and Yahweh the Demiurge. Obviously this leads directly to Satanism and all sorts of dangerous moral choices. So the fact that Pullman went into Gnosticism didn’t phase me, for I had already encountered the glamor and falseness of the Gnostic worldview, and rejected it.
The Gnostic worldview, and its moral inversion, is also on display in National Geographic’s terrible mistranslation of the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic text that was published last year, and retranslated this year, reversing almost all the controversial conclusions.
And of course the whole conceit behind The DaVinci Code, with Jesus shacking up with Mary Magdalene and founding the Merovingian dynasty, was more Gnostic (in the sense of “hidden knowledge”) claptrap spawned from the same conspiracy theorizing that inspired Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It reduces Jesus to just an ancestor of a European King, rather than the Son of God, and is typical of the Arian heresy that has somehow found its resurgence not only in many modern-day Christian sects but also in Islam.
Back to Pullman. The book that the His Dark Materials reminded me of most was Job, by Robert A. Heinlein, which I read probably 20 years ago. The conceit behind Job is that God and the Devil have a wager over whether the protagonist will end up in Heaven or Hell. The twist is that Hell is actually a nicer place, run by a nicer guy, than Heaven.
I believe that one should find inspiration in the knowledge of what one opposes, not in remaining ignorant of it.
