New fieldwork and Instrumentation Laboratory of the VUA earth science department

 "At ca. 1970, the department of Earth Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam (VUA) had the choice of using two compasses for students. The existing Silva compass, principally designed for orienteering, and the brand new, up-dated 'Clar-Breithaupt' geological compass."

Development and construction of the VUA compass has been financed by the Free University, Amsterdam.
All those who have been involved in the development of the VUA compass at the time of its construction are being thanked for their contributions.

Prof. Dr. Cees R. van Staal is thanked for his support and advices to this website.
