科学指南针 - 金属, 黄铜, 玻璃 - USHIKATA - 日本测量罗盘

历史 / 描述

一件视觉上引人注目的日本测绘指南针，由USHIKATA（东京，日本）出品，附带配套的皮革携带盒。

该仪器 features a large circular compass dial with a 360-degree graduated scale, an articulated green-painted metal frame, brass-toned graduated components and mechanical adjustment fittings. The dial is clearly marked “USHIKATA – TOKYO JAPAN” and displays several patent numbers.

Its precise mechanical appearance, exposed graduated scales and distinctive industrial green finish give the instrument a strong mid-20th-century scientific and industrial character.

Originally designed as a surveying instrument, it is now equally appealing as a collectible example of Japanese precision equipment and as a highly decorative scientific display object.
