What do these numbers on my Silva compass mean?
Hi all,
I have a Silva 4/54 compass with a rotating bezel. On the inside of the bezel it is marked up to 360 degrees, no problem there. On the top of the bezel it is numbered 2,4,6 etc up to 62 and then North at 64. East = 16, South=32 and West= 48. I am sure that this is going to be something really obvious and that I will kick myself but at the moment I have no idea at all what these numbers indicate.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
