Covington used this at radio field station to measure variations in earth's field. Paul Serson of the dominion observatory worked on the development of airborne magnetometers by using this artefact. Used by the National Research Laboratories of Canada to conduct research that would further the knowledge of geophysical and terrestrial magnetic problems. - Function
-
Used for detecting magnetic anomalies and for exploring the earth's surface for mineral deposits. - Technical
