#Sperry Gyroscope Company Gyro-Compass Repeater Dial – Naval Navigation Instrument

This is an original gyro-compass repeater dial faceplate, manufactured by the Sperry Gyroscope Company, New York, a leading supplier of precision navigational instruments to the U.S. Navy and commercial shipping fleets throughout the mid-20th century.

These dials were used extensively on U.S. Navy ships during WWII and the Cold War era, making them a fascinating piece of maritime and military history.
