Calibrated scissors jack rises above the three-legged leveling base with slots for the magnetic iron bars.

Original mahogany box. Dimensions: Height 2.5". Length: 6". Box height 4.75". Width 7.5". Depth 3.25". Provenance: ProvenanceTesseract, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, 2005.The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.Notes:William Thompson (1824-1907) was the first Baron Kelvin (Lord Kelvin). During the 1880s, Thomson worked to perfect the adjustable compass in order to correct errors arising from magnetic deviation owing to the increasing use of iron in naval architecture. Thomson's design was a great improvement on the older instruments, being steadier and less hampered by friction, the deviation due to the ship's own magnetism being corrected by movable masses of iron at the binnacle. Thomson's innovations involved much detailed work to develop principles already identified by George Biddell Airy and others but contributed little in terms of novel physical thinking. Thomson's energetic lobbying and networking proved effective in gaining acceptance of his instrument by the Admiralty.
