Title A name given to the resource Compass - Face Subject The topic of the resource Inscriptions Description An account of the resource According to the print, this compass was made in France. Based on its design and the years it was used in Canada (circa 1875), the Collignon-Houlliot compass manufacturer most likely manufactured this model. This company was known to export to Great-Britain and to the United-States. As such, British surveyors could have brought these compasses to British North-America upon performing their first surveys. The compass could have also been given to Dominion Land surveyors directly either by the manufacturer itself, by the British, or by the Americans.

Title A name given to the resource Winterization Subject The topic of the resource Surveying in a Northern climate Description An account of the resource As was discovered by looking through mapping, surveying, and draughting instrument catalogue used by the Canadian army throughout the First World War, the purpose of the "diaphragm" on this compass is to "winterize" it. That is to say protect it from water and ice from forming inside the compass. While surveying in a northern environment, the cover of this instrument served to protect the glass from scratching and cracking thus enabling water and ice to form on the compass' face.
