Historical Notes

T.G. Co. Ltd. was the abbreviation used by The Gramophone Company. This firm merged with its subsidiary His Master's Voice and with Columbia Graphophone Co.in 1931 to become EMI (Electric & Musical Industries) who continued to use “The Gramophone Co.” trademark for various items, changing it for the War contracts to just T.G. Co. Ltd.

In reality F. Barker & Sons apparently built these compasses since they always carry the B prefix to the serial number.
