The Navy Wants...
[F you have a pocket chronometer, an aneroid barometer (marine type), an azimuth mirtor, a theodolite, or a ship’s charthouse clock stowed away in your attic, the chances are the Navy will be able to make better use of it than you can. Following the . big drive for binoculars for the Services, the Navy is now asking for instruments of several types. Whether it is a _ship’s chronometer mounted in gimbals and case, or a simple geometric in- |» Strument such as_ protractor, divider; or parallel ruler, the Navy can find a good use for it. As in the binoculars appeal, the instruments may be given to the Navy outright, loaned for the duration of the war, or offered for sale. Most types of instrument can be forwarded to the Navy through the Post Office, but ships’ and boats’ compasses and mounted ships’ chronometers should be delivered by hand to the Naval Officers in Charge at the four main centres. People in the country who by chance have one of these three instruments to offer should communicate by letter with the Navy Secretary, Naval Headquarters, Wellington. Details are advertised on page 14.
