I´m quite certain that I never saw a different compass on a german wwII uboat than the Anschütz Gyro compas which I tried to reconstruct in my modification.

So, if this particular compass design has a hundreds of years old tradition, I wonder how the SH devs came to that special design, if they had not a historical ideal. Was it completly artificial? What was the origin of both SH1 / SH2 compass designs? Does anyone knows that?
