The Collectors
Description
An account of the resource
In 1952, Dominion Land Surveyor, R.W. Clarke began collecting historic survey markers in order to preserve the history of federal surveying in Canada. Clarke and several passionate colleagues collected a variety of markers from across Canada. In 1973, the historic monument committee of Energy, Mines and Resources (now Natural Resources Canada) donated this entire collection (over 140 markers) to the National Museum of Science and Technology.
This collection is the start of a database related to the original collectors and some of their markers.
An early history of this collection can be found in following article from 1965:
Sebert, L.M. 1965. "One Hundred and Sixty-Three Landmarks." The Canadian Surveyor XIX (2):220-223.

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.

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.

Thus, the fact that this compass has this marking indicated it was definitely made after 1887.
