What Is the Lock Type Compass Used For?
A compass needle is a small magnet that turns until it lines up with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing towards magnetic north. That makes a compass the basic tool for naming the cardinal directions around a school, setting a map the right way round on a geography field trip, and showing, in science lessons on magnets, how a needle swings when a magnet is brought near. Magnetic north is not exactly the same as true north, which is a useful point to discuss when compass readings are compared with a map.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Compass type — this lock type compass, a directional compass, the navigating compass, or the plotting compass for field-line experiments.
- Quantity — one per student or per group for field work, plus spares.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lock Type Compass used for?
Finding direction: naming north, south, east and west, orienting a map, and outdoor field work in geography and science lessons.
How does a magnetic compass show direction?
Its needle is magnetised, so it turns to line up with the Earth’s magnetic field and points to magnetic north; the other directions are read from there.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling instructions and a tender reference where one applies.
Who manufactures this compass?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of school science and geography teaching equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The compass is made at JLab’s own works and not bought in from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it direct from the manufacturer, each compass is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the same works. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Angola in Central Africa, Sudan in North Africa, Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, Chile in South America and Latvia in Northern Europe. Details for tender buyers are on the JLab lab tenders page.
