A Wilfrid O. White Ship’s Gyrocompass Repeater is a highly collectible, mid-20th-century vintage maritime instrument engineered to replicate heading data from a vessel's central master gyrocompass. Wilfrid O. White & Sons (frequently partnered as Kelvin & Wilfrid O. White Co.) was legendary for developing magnetic spherical compasses, but they also manufactured specialized bridge instrumentation like peloruses, azimuth sights, and repeating dials integrated into complex naval electrical networks.
