<p>Disclosure 700-80-0030 A magnetic sensor is disclosed which features an arrangement that relies upon the principle of a fixed, non-pendulous magnetic sensing device (2), which is rendered insensitive to the effect of the earth's vertical magnetic field component by means of an adjacent cooperating magnetic member (20) pendulously-supported to maintain its axis along the true vertical. Means (34, 44, 46, 48, 50) are disclosed whereby the magnetic field provided by the pendulously-supported magnetic member is automatically adjusted to cancel the earth's vertical field even when the latter changes for any reason.</p> |
