Modell eines Kompass-Wagens
South point carrier
Bei dieser Rekonstruktion handelt es sich um ein Gerät, welches durch ein ausgeklügeltes System von Zahnrädern unterschiedlicher Größe funktioniert. Je nach dem, welche Bewegung mit dem Wagen gemacht wird, verschieben sich die Zahnräder so, dass der Richtungszeiger dennoch stets nach Süden weist. Wahrscheinlich wurden solche Geräte ab der Mitte des 3. Jh. n. Chr. hergestellt. Mit einem Streitwagen ähnlicher Größe dienten diese Wagen einer weithin sichtbaren Orientierung. (S.
