...
... this list is beginning to sound much
like the old abbot and costello routine,
"who's on first" ...
...
... merely suspend and balance any bar
magnet (a compass needle is a bar
magnet) on a thread attached to the
bar magnet's physical mid-point ...
...
... the magnet will automatically rotate
and align itself so that the north
pole of the bar magnet points toward
geographical south, and the south pole
of the bar magnet points toward
geographical north ...
...
... much of the confusion arises from
the conventional manufacture of compass
needles, almost all of which carry
the mislabel "N" on the south pole
of the magnetized needle ...
...
... this confusion is likely to persist
until compass needles are properly
identified with "NS" (north seeking)
and "SS" (south seeking) labels ...
...
... a compass needle may be labeled "N"
and point north, but only the true
south pole of compass needle can point
toward geographic north ...
...
... proper identification of magnet poles
for biological purposes can be a matter
of life and death, particularly when
wearing a blood-fluffing magnet to
insure against stroke and heart attack ...
