"General Reiner praised the Brunton compass, noting that Brunton has been supplying the military with it’s compasses for decades. 'When you go to war, you are only as good as the equipment you have, and the compass used by the U.S. Military is a Brunton Compass,' he said, to cheers from the audience."
Umm, say again, over? Did Brunton take over the contract for the lensatic compass from Cammenga?
No, he was referring to the U.S. M2 artillery transit aka the Brunton Pocket Transit. It's always been made in the USA to my knowledge.
Some Brunton compass models, like the Eclipse line, were made in China. They had problems (print and markings wearing off early, permanent air bubbles, etc.) The new O.S.S. line of compasses are all made in the USA.
