Manufacturing Quality, Precision
Instruments For More Than 20 Years
 |
 |
It was more than twenty years ago that the Ames Instrument
Company made their first instrument - a Sundial Compass. Since then, we have produced a variety of other instruments. Most were small, unique items, usable and accurate for specific purposes. The Ring Dial is one of the instruments that we continue to manufacture today. |

| The Signalman's Compass, shown on the bottom right, led to the development of
the six-inch surveyors compass that we currently manufacture. Every so often, a surveyor who had seen one of our Signalman's Compasses would comment that it would be nice if he could buy one of the large Vernier Surveying Compasses that were made years ago. This type was almost indispensable for retracement work and is a tool for the trade that is still used to this day to find the corners of old surveys. Our decision to produce this compass is coupled with our commitment to making the product with the level of accuracy that is required in this type of work. This commitment to quality and accuracy continues to be the cornerstone of our product line today - more than twenty years after our first Sundial Compass was made. |
