Original U.S. WWII M2 Artillery Compass with plastic Case
Size. 8 x 7 x 3 cm
The M2 Artillery Compass is a special-purpose instrument designed for high accuracy. It combines a surveyors compass with a clinometer, level and a plumb built into one instrument. It was in use during World War II, based on an earlier Compass, M1 that was not graduated in mils. The M2 has readings for 0-359 degrees and 0-6400 mils.
The unmounted M2 compass provides an alternate instrument for orienting cannon or mortar fire. The multipurpose instrument is used to obtain angle of site and azimuth readings.
The M-2 Artillery Compass is designed to be a superior and highly accurate tool for artillery operations.
