Abstract

A declinometer survey was made over three sites at the R.A.A.F. Airfield at Laverton, Victoria, in January 1952, to determine their suitability as compass-swinging bases. The results show that at all three sites there are local magnetic disturbances which cause deviations in excess of the permissible maximum of one quarter of a degree. None of the sites is suitable.
