Nautical Inclinometer Or Gitometer
Late 19th century–early 20th century, wood, polished and engraved brass.
A quarter circle with a movable arm made of polished brass. An engraved scale runs along the circular edge of the instrument, with repeated graduations from 0° to 40° in 10-degree increments; a movable arm allows for measuring a ship’s angle of heel—“the ship’s trim”—in the water.
A beautiful and unusual object, with some signs of wear and missing screws.
Dimensions: 44 x 34 cm | Thickness: 2 cm.
