This is a nice example of a cased clinometer made by J H Steward for measuring the angle of inclination or declination when observing a distant object. It is in very good, fully functional condition and the case is also in excellent, undamaged condition, complete with the fastening strap. The top of the instrument is marked with the maker's name and the other side similarly marked with the original owner's name, "W G H Miles". This gives this instrument added interest, rarity and value as this was the famous Captain W G H Miles of the Royal Navy who was commissioned by the Admiralty in 1925 to produced the standard "Admiralty Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy" There is a movement lock released by depressing the large button - this is also locked in position for transit by sliding the plate under it as shown. The case measures 3.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches thick.
