That compass drawing was reinstated here at the request of teachers, because it allowed them to explain the difference between the magnetic and geographical north pole. Kwast writes in the foreword: 'According to a letter from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, the declination at IJuiden has not changed. Institute, the declination at IJmuiden averaged about 10° 42' West in 1926, and is estimated to average 10° 30' in 1927.'
