Beagle

v to explain the
importance of the chronometer and help the reader visualize
It is made of brass and is around the size of a large pocket

clock is suspended inside a swivelling brass ring fitted to the
inside of a wooden box - this is the key to keeping the
chronometer level even in an unsteady ship.
