There was a Packard compass in one of the 51s I grew up with. As I recall there is some slotted adjustment screws that you could work with a dime. Remember Dad fussing with it on nearly every long trip. Whether it vibrated and didn't hold a direction or was too sensitive to extra metal in the car or if he had totally screwed it up is open for debate. I know he never trusted it and said it was a gimmick.
