Is anyone aware of any formal courses (preferably
in Canada) that one can take in order to learn how to adjust a compass using,
among other tools, corrector magnets? Before you mention manuals, I
have lots. I am looking for more of a hands-on course where one is taught the
rudiments, and then turned loose in a room or a ship full of maladjusted
compasses -- under the watchful eye of a sage instructor -- to practice
what one has been taught. Like astro-nav, I suspect that this too, is becoming a
dying art.
