Compass Parts

• BezelThe bezel of the compass capsule is divided
  into small degree lines. The spaces between the
  lines equal two degrees, the whole bezel
  representing 360 degrees. Each twentieth degree
  is indicated by a number. The initials of the
  four cardinal points of the compass (North,
  South, East and West) are also marked on the
  bezel.
• Base Plate Used when getting a travel direction
  from a map or measuring distance using a map.
• CapsuleUsed to obtain bearings. Magnetic
  NeedleShows direction of North. Map ScalesProvide
  direct conversions from map distances to actual
  distances on the ground.
• Direction ArrowsTwo parallel red arrows which
  travel direction is read along. These arrows are
  drawn parallel to the long side edges of the base
  plate. North-South Arrow and LinesRotate when
  capsule is turned. These markings are especially
  important when obtaining a travel direction from
  a map.
• Rotating CapsuleAttached to the base in a manner
  by which it can be turned
