U.S.E.D. CREAGH-OSBORNE MARCHING COMPASS MARK VII MOD. E SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO. BROOKLYN, N.Y.   https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_1465344#:~:text=Description:,the Sperry Corporation in 1933. Description Frank Osborne Creagh-Osborne (1867-1943), Superintendent of Compasses in the Royal Navy, introduced this type of instrument in 1917. The bottom of this example is marked "U.S.E.D. CREAGH-OSBORNE MARCHING COMPASS MARK VII MOD. E SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO. BROOKLYN, N.Y." Here, “U.S.E.D.” stands for United States Engineer Department (aka Army Corps of Engineers). The Sperry Gyroscope Company was established by Elmer Ambrose Sperry in 1910 and became the Sperry Corporation in 1933. Ref: E.A.R., “The Creagh-Osborne Compass,” The Geographical Journal 49 (1917): 63-65.   The one below is mine but let's just say it has some patina.      

Great photos!!! Nice photo there of Jack Chennault who would command the "Aleutian Tigers" during his time in the Alaskan Theater. There's a great book on the 11th by John Cloe aptly called "The Aleutian Warriors." These pilots were tough as nails to be flying in the Alaskan weather (williwaws and all).

Thanks for sharing, nice photos.

These pics are a continuation of the Portland Air Base topic I started earlier. The grouping consists of well over a thousand pics of the bombing missions by the 11th Air Force in 1943-44 in the Aleutians with most being at Attu and Kiska and the previous owner of the photos life in the Aleutians as he ended up being an executive officer of a fighter group on Attu after it was captured.    Scott

Hi all,   this came in a pile of other things I was more interested in, but I’m curious to what it is   thank you!  

＊However, since there are several types of special trains, this is only a possibility, and it is difficult to identify the specific name.
