	Operation Compass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Compass was a World War II Allied military operation in the Western Desert Campaign.
		Planning of the operation (and discovery of the gap) is often credited to Brigadier Eric Dorman-Smith, who served as an adviser to O'Connor, though this is disputed.
		As a counter-espionage measure, many of the troops involved were not informed that the operation wasn't an exercise, until they were very nearly engaged in combat.

	Compensation system for electronic compass - Patent 5802727
		The compass employs a magnetoresistive sensor for sensing the earth magnetic field and the sensor is operated in alternate set/reset bias modes.
		In a second embodiment, deviation compensation is provided by operation in an initial calibration mode and by operation in a normal calibration mode to adjust compensation, as needed, on a long term basis during normal operation of the compass.
		Further, in accordance with a second embodiment of this invention, an electronic compass is provided which automatically operates in an initial calibration mode to determine the initial compensation for the particular vehicle installation and in a normal calibration mode which is operative during normal compass operation for adjusting calibration as may be needed.

	Richard O'Connor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the field commander for Operation Compass, in which his forces completely destroyed a much larger Italian army—a victory which nearly drove the Axis from Africa entirely, and in turn, led Adolf Hitler to send the Deutsches Afrikakorps under Erwin Rommel to try and reverse the situation.
		The counteroffensive, Operation Compass, began on 8 December 1940.
		The attack began on 18 July with a massive aerial bombardment by the 9th USAAF, and was ended on 20 July with a successful three-pronged drive to capture Bras and Hubert-Folie on the right, Fontenay on the left and Bourguebus Ridge in the centre.
