U.S. M-1950 3H Lensatic Compass
The M-1950 U.S. military lensatic field compass with self-luminous lighting (designated the Model 3H by Cammenga) is fitted with self-luminous tritium vial lighting. Under U.S. milspec performance criteria, ten pre-production samples of the M-1950 are required to meet a battery of performance, durability, and accuracy standards. This includes an overall inherent accuracy standard of + or - 40 mils (2.25 degrees) from actual magnetic azimuth; a tritium illumination test; and a shock or impact test, in which samples of the M-1950 are tested dropping the compass from a height of 90 cm (35 in.) on a solid surface covered with 10 cm (4 in.) of plastic-covered sand, followed by testing to ensure performance within specified accuracy standards. A water leakage test is also performed.
