The measurement of the vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field is a less simple operation than that of the horizontal component. The horizontal field measurements are on a satisfactory basis, whether made by the swinging magnet method, or by the more recently developed electric magnetometers, in which known magnetic fields may be provided by means of known currents flowing through coils of known dimensions.
