Abstract

A declinometer survey was made over a proposed compass-swinging base at the R.A.A.F. Airfield at Point Cook, Victoria in January, 1952, to determine its suitability. The results show that there are local magnetic disturbances which cause deviations in excess of the permissible maximum of one quarter of a degree. The site is therefore unsuitable.
