(I) DIRECTION FINDING COMPASSES This category covers direction finding compasses of all types, from the simple compasses used by walkers, cyclists, etc., to specialised compasses for use in mining, navigation, etc. (including magnetic compasses, gyroscopic compasses, gyromagnetic compasses, binnacle compasses, position-finding compasses, etc.). (II) OTHER NAVIGATIONAL INSTRUMENTS AND APPLIANCES This category covers: (A) Instruments for determining a ship's position, such as sextants, octants, azimuth instruments, etc. (B) Other special marine or river navigational instruments, for example: (1) Automatic pilots (gyro-pilots). These are complex devices which control a ship's rudder in accordance with the indications of a gyrocompass. (2) Course recorders. These give an accurate record of the course (and of any changes of course) during a ship's voyage. (3) Clinometers; for measuring the list of a ship. (4) Logs. These indicate the speed of a ship by measuring the apparent distance covered in a given time. At present these instruments are always automatic.

One type of instrument works by means of a screw or propeller (the screw is placed in the ship's wake and connected to a dial on board). Another type is based on the principle of differential pressure, since pressure varies with the speed of the stream (they usually incorporate a Pitot tube); the distance and speed are read off a dial on board. This heading also covers logs incorporating a counter which records the number of breaks in an electric circuit (i.e., the number of revolutions of the log), thus showing the distance covered by the ship. (5) Sounding leads for measuring the depth of water (hand leads and deep-sea leads operated by winch), which determine the depth of water and the nature of the sea bed. (6) Echo sounders. The sound echo reflected from the bottom is picked up on board by a very sensitive microphone and recorded by a galvanometer. (7) Ultrasonic depth-finding or detecting equipment, e.g., acoustic, sonic or similar, used for determining the relief of the sea bed, locating submarines, wrecks, shoals of fish, etc. (C) Special aeronautical navigation instruments, such as: (1) Altimeters or height indicators. These are a type of barometer calibrated in units of height, their operation being based on the fall in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. (2) Airspeed indicators. Their operation is based on measuring the differential pressure of the airflow around the aircraft, and they indicate the speed of the aircraft relative to the surrounding air. (3) Rate-of-climb or descent indicators. These instruments show the vertical speed of climb or descent by measuring a pressure differential. (4) Artificial horizons or gyro-horizons and bank-and-turn indicators. Their operation is based on gyroscopic principles; the former determine the angle of the aircraft in relation to the transverse or longitudinal axis, the latter in relation to the vertical axis. (5) Machmeters. These instruments determine the ratio of the speed to the speed of sound at a given altitude. This ratio is expressed as the "Mach number". (6) Accelerometers. These determine the maximum limit (which must not be exceeded) of the inertial forces arising from sudden changes in speed. (7) Automatic pilots. This equipment temporarily replaces the pilot, controlling the flight of the aircraft in accordance with pre-set values (altitude, heading, etc.). It consists mainly of apparatus operated directly or through servo-mechanisms (usually hydraulic servo-motors taking the place of the pilot's actions), and automatically acting apparatus (high-speed gyroscopes) which coordinates the instrument readings and the actions of the servo-mechanisms. PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Subject to the provisions of Notes 1 and 2 to this Chapter (see the General Explanatory Note), parts and accessories of the apparatus and appliances of this heading are also classified in this heading.

This heading also excludes: (a) radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus, e.g., global positioning system (GPS) receivers, and radio remote control apparatus (heading 8526); (b) pantographs, eidographs and the like, used for plotting a navigational course (heading 9017); (c) barometers and thermometers (including reversing thermometers for underwater research) (heading 9025); (d) pressure gauges, liquid level indicators and other instruments of heading 9026; (e) revolution counters (heading 9029); (f) ammeters, voltmeters and other instruments for measuring or checking electrical quantities of heading 9030; (g) marine chronometers and ship's clocks (Chapter 91).
