Abstract

528,174. Magnetic compasses. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and CHANCE, B. Jan. 12, 1939, No. 1059. Drawings to Specification. [Class 97 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXV] Steering. In a system employing a magnetic compass and photo-electric devices for the automatic control of a rudder the follow-up mechanism which rotates the photo-electric devices to neutral relation with the compass needle is geared to a carriage which varies the position of small magnets in relation to the compass needle to apply quadrantal correction. Semicircular correction may be similarly applied. Specification 530,437 is referred to.
