I think it would be of interest to the list, or at least to me. The previous discussions lacked substance. Maybe the article will provide some facts regarding the fluxgate operating principle and the implementation. I still have trouble with the use of a gimble suspension as described in the previous thread. -----Original Message----- From: Aubrey O'Callaghan [mailto:ocallaghan@SLB.COM] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 9:42 AM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: [NAV-L] Fluxgate compasses I subscribe to Ocean Navigator online. They send out email type news letter periodically. The latest is an email on working of fluxgate compasses. Interesting how they work. We recently had a discussion on this subject and if there is still interest I will post the article. Aubrey.
