The eyepiece locks the dial
down to keep it from being dam-
aged when it’s not in use. If you
don’t lift the eyepiece, the float-

for the needle to show north.
That tip and others are on the
card with use and care instruc-
tions that comes with every new
compass. If your card is lost, con-
tact James Boyd at CECOM, DSN 992-9511 or (732) 532-9511. His e-mail is:
boydj@mail1.mommouth.army.mil
He will send you a new card. FM 21-26,
