| 1. | This balancing is latitude-dependent; see Compass balancing ( magnetic dip ).
|
| 2. | Norman demonstrated magnetic dip by creating a compass needle that pivoted on a horizontal axis.
|
| 3. | A second limitation is magnetic dip.
|
| 4. | When in steady straight and level flight the effect of magnetic dip is of no concern.
|
| 5. | Norwood is also credited with the discovery of magnetic dip 59 years earlier, in 1576.
|
| 6. | For 1930 the specification included " Biflex " magnetic dip and switch headlights and wire wheels.
|
| 7. | Magnetic dip is caused by the downward pull of the magnetic poles and is greatest near the poles themselves.
|
| 8. | Compass needles are often weighted during manufacture to compensate for magnetic dip, so that they will balance roughly horizontally.
|
| 9. | In 1856 he began at Kew a series of monthly determinations of magnetic field intensity and magnetic dip with instruments provided by Edward Sabine.
|
| 10. | More importantly, it included Norman's discovery of magnetic dip, the incline at an angle from the horizon by a compass needle.
