dip circle
An instrument for measuring the inclination of the earth's magnetic field. In its simplest form it consists only of a magnetized needle mounted on a pointed bearing, and a protractor. By timing the oscillation of the needle, it is possible to obtain, also, relative values of the intensity of the earth's magnetic field.
