[Hubble Space Telescope’s wide-field planetary camera] That camera now will be fitted with the corrective mirrors as well. The mirrors act, in effect, like high-tech eyeglasses. In each pair, the first corrective mirror passes an image of the Hubble’s 94.5 inch-diameter primary mirror onto a second mirror. The second glass is formed like the Hubble’s mirror, only in exact reverse, thus canceling the flaw. 1, record 3, English, - corrective%20mirror

Correction for Deviation by Swinging the Compass : The effect of deviation is neutralized in airplanes as far as possible by a procedure called "Swinging the Compass". The compass is fitted with corrector magnets, which are permanently installed and connected by gears. They are located in the top and bottom of the compass case and are adjusted by screws. As the compass is "swung", the screws are adjusted to eliminate deviation. It is rarely possible, however, to completely eliminate it. The deviation remaining after the compass has been "swung" is tabulated on a Compass Deviation Card to enable the pilot to make allowance for it.... The compass should be swung with the engine running and all radio and electrical equipment functioning. 4, record 7, English, - compass%20swinging
