		The Horniman dial has a silver hour ring and in contrast to the Oxford example its map and compass card are not coloured and the magnetic needle is shaped like an arrow, pointed at North and feathered at South.
		The Oxford and Horniman dials do have a decorative feature in common: surrounding both the compass and the map are two concentric circles which are themselves embraced north and south by circular arcs.
		On the Horniman dial the counties are outlined crudely and are marked with an initial only; on the Oxford map the counties are better delineated and the lettering is finer, and their names are abbreviated or even, in a few cases, given in full.

	RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACCESS
		The task of the museum or public collection is largely twofold: its responsibility for the safety and preservation of its instruments and its goal to further their study and disseminate the information thus obtained.
		These recommendations are intended to encourage museums and individuals to continue the re-examination of our musical heritage while, at the same time, suggesting basic guidelines for permitting access which will protect the interests of the instruments, the public and the museum.
		The museum should require that reproductions of instruments in its holdings be labeled honestly with regard to the degree of compromise in their design.
