The writer here describes a compass with a magnetized needle. The Templars experiment with their sword and see that the needle reverts to its original position when the sword is removed. The invention of the compass is attributed to the Chinese circa 200 BCE. Apparently, knowledge of the technology had made its way to Jerusalem in the first century CE. It is curious to note that the use of the compass did not reach Europe until the early 13th century. Did the idea of a compass with a magnetized needle come to Italy from the Templar discovery?

DEVICE II

It is about a hand by a link and is made of brass. There is a basket of wire formed in a round shape upon its flat surface. The flat surface is cut so as to resemble the shape of an animal with four small feet a wide head at which is a hole and through it a metal brass rod about the size of a small finger about one link long and fitted at its top a square piece of metal like a shield boss slightly conical in shape with two flat handles. The handles have horizon way slots in them and across each is a fine thread of silver so fixed that it can be moved along the length of the slot. At the center of the boss is a hole square in shape and two silver threads are in this also the sky way fixed the horizon way movable as the other two. A round piece of bronze weighted on its under side with lead rests in the basket so as to be turnable in it and inscribed with odd characters I recognize as those on the scrolls. A five pointed star surrounds them and the numbers I, III, V, VII, IX and some numbers that look as the Arab script but I am not sure that is what it is.
