As one of the most basic instruments, the magnetic compass consists only of a compass card that swings on a pivot assembly. Attached to that assembly are two magnets and a float. These pieces are submerged in mineral spirits or kerosene, which stabilizes the compass card and makes it easier to read. The glass face includes a reference point called the lubber line, where the direction is referenced.
