William Gilberts magnetic Dip Instrument
William Gilberts Dip Instrument for measuring the dip of the magnetic field. The diameter of the dial was " six fingerlengths". The instrument was made of wood and brass, with a steel needle magnetised by hand rubbing with a lodestone. The illustration was published in Gilberts book De Magnete, first published in 1600. This picture was taken from the second edition reprinted in 1628
