Thumb placement: Insert your thumb in the thumb loop and let the rest of your fingers support the base. Place your index finger on the side of the compass and the other three under the base. Seidman, David, and Cleveland, Paul, The Essential Wilderness Navigator, Ragged Mountain Press (2001), ISBN 0-07-136110-3Usually these types of compass are quite large, but this particular example, is only 5" (125mm) square and 4" (100mm) in height, with the compass bowl being just 75mm in diameter, making it a more compact and relatively uncommon compass. Founded in 1828, Henry Hughes was a prolific and highly respected instrument maker, later joined by his son Alexander Hughes in the late 19th century until the firm was incorporated as Henry Hughes and Son Ltd in 1903.

The shapely blued steel needle sits above a clean paper compass rose divided into four 90 degree quadrants, and also showing all the points of the compass with a fleur de lys for North. Compared to other kinds of compasses, a lensatic compass allows you to read the bearings while sighting the objects all at the same time, without changing eye position. It also has the sighting wire, which helps in determining the azimuth more accurately.
Did you find following this tutorial enjoyable? Remember that your entire orienteering experience, and most importantly, your safety, relies heavily on how proficient you are in compass reading and land navigation in general.

You can carry it around comfortably and keep your hands to be able to hold it when you mountaineering.Modern compasses usually use a magnetized needle or dial inside a capsule completely filled with a liquid (lamp oil, mineral oil, white spirits, purified kerosene, or ethyl alcohol are common). While older designs commonly incorporated a flexible rubber diaphragm or airspace inside the capsule to allow for volume changes caused by temperature or altitude, some modern liquid compasses use smaller housings and/or flexible capsule materials to accomplish the same result. [15] The liquid inside the capsule serves to damp the movement of the needle, reducing oscillation time and increasing stability. Key points on the compass, including the north end of the needle are often marked with phosphorescent, photoluminescent, or self-luminous materials [16] to enable the compass to be read at night or in poor light. As the compass fill liquid is noncompressible under pressure, many ordinary liquid-filled compasses will operate accurately underwater to considerable depths. Lane, Frederic C. (1963).
