Compass Transit Case Question….

Hi,

I have a small (4″ across) transit case (6B/2756) and have always thought it was for an E2B compass. The case has printed on the front that it was for a 6B/2754, is that an E2B or E2 type compass? (It’s a bit hard to read the 6s and 8s mixed up on the case).

I have an E2B compass with 6B/405 on the mounting plate so it’s a bit confuseing.

cheers & Happy New Year!

Hi John,

Sec/Ref 6B/2754 is a Type E2B Compass which AP1086 lists as a Type E2A with internal direct lighting. AP1086 also lists the transit case for E2 and E2A as 6A/2053

Hope that helps

Dave
