try
lifting
my
eyepiece
!
hey, why
aren't
you
working
?
ya don't need
to
sing
da
blues
,
here's the
nsn
s
to
use
.
f the floating dial on your new lensatic compass, NSN 6605-01-196-6971, is
not floating, don’t turn in the compass until you try lifting the eyepiece.
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-
ing dial won’t work. It has to 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,

,
also has this info.
The old compasses, NSN 6605-00-151-5337 or NSN 6605-00-846-7618,
are unserviceable and have been condemned for leaking the radioactive material
that made them glow. Turn them in to your local Radiation Safety Officer per
AR 11-9 and get the new compass.
The condemned compasses were made by Stocker and Yale. Commenga makes
the new one.
