Magnetic Compass Errors and Corrections by bittu692 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses errors in magnetic compasses and their corrections. It describes various types of errors including coefficients A through E and J, which represent different types of deviations caused by permanent and induced magnetism. It explains how each error is corrected, such as using Flinder bars, fore/aft magnets, athwartship magnets, and heeling error magnets placed in a bucket below the compass. Taking the average of magnetic bearings from all eight cardinals is described as a method to dete
