Unlike in this position, There will be some degree of error. You need to hold your breath to stand still and get the right direction..

Analogical Tree - It is the analogical Matching on matters about similar in sounding, Algorithm and applications.

Therefore ETER is similar in sound with METER.

Got you.. That's all I got. Jejeje

He-he, who got who? Your METER is a S.I. version (System Internationale) which was ONLY ADOPTED in 1977-1978. therefore what year was your COMPASS made?

[DINDO BAYAUA]

The "Metre" or "Meter".

#
# ^ The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 gives the Secretary of Commerce of the US the responsibility of interpreting or modifying the SI for use in the US. The Secretary of Commerce delegated this authority to the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (Turner). In 2008, NIST published the US version (Taylor and Thompson, 2008a) of the English text of the eighth edition of the BIPM publication Le Système international d'unités (SI) (BIPM, 2006). In the NIST publication, the spellings "meter", "liter" and "deka" are used rather than "metre", "litre" and "deca" as in the original BIPM English text (Taylor and Thompson, 2008a, p. iii). The Director of the NIST officially recognised this publication, together with Taylor and Thompson (2008b), as the "legal interpretation" of the SI for the United States (Turner).

so you can see, the word "Meter" was "Never" used during WWII by anyone!

What was seen on one gadget with "METER" part was in "S.I. (Sytem Internationale)" and the first country who adopted the S.I. was in 1977-1978 and therefore it was definitely made after the war.

eter:

measuring block, measuring unit...karat...displacement unit...etc. THIS IS A UNIT OF ADOPTION.

Now THEREFORE, upon your posting:

1:25,000 eter means 1:25,000 UNITS??? Units of WHAT?

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!! Bwahahahah

[DINDO BAYAUA]

1:25,000 karats???, 1:25,000 lbs/cubic meters??? 1:25,000 displacement unit???

     Hold your breath, what, to read the Compass,  , so, what you are saying is there will be no movement at all to be able to read the compass for it to read properly, then you cannot read the compass when you are at sea or you have so much jitter that you cannot hold the compass steady as you run out of alcohol or drugs. Some more of your crap NS. You should have been a politician,you will make a good one, WHY, you keep talking even when your brain had STOPPED.

You get a good point in your above statement that Japanese adopted metric system as their standard of measurement before the war.. Take a look at the scale of the compass used by Japanese.. 1: 25,000     Meter. But the readable word is ETER

       REply #16. Enlarge the photo and one can read the word METER, get your eyes checked.

Well i used an engineers compass few days ago and it works so perfect even im standing on top of a moving rock in the middle of a river! Only that compass helped me to find what many previous hunters havent seen and i found it within just few minutes..... ...the group are dying of joy afterwards!

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! HAVE A NICE & BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!
