    Re: odd astro compass attachment
    From: Robert Eno

    I was the fellow who originally posed the question and I think I might have 
    the answer: someone has converted that astro-compass into a poor man's dumpy 
    level and theodolite. I recently acquired an old article from a carpenter's 
    magazine that describes how to convert an astro compass into a dumpy level.

    Same question was asked in NavList2877 (with replies in 2886 and 2887),
    but no definite answer has yet been given.
    Judging from the materials used it is a later addition not originating
    from the manufacturer of the compass.
