Deflection magnetometer, box-type vibration magnetometer, timer, bar magnet.The deflection magnetometer consists of a large compass box with a small magnetic needle pivoted at the center of a circular scale so that the needle is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. 
its used to measure the horizontal component of earth magnetic field . 
also we can compare the magnetic moment , the magnetic needle is free ro rotate around the plane , so, by that we can compare ,
