Dad's Compass

This Kelvin White compass came off my late father's boat. I found it while rummaging around in his attic. The knob on the front is a spring, pull out sort of a thing. I don't know what it does or supposed to do. ?Maybe it's a lightsource switch? Curious if anybody knows anything about this device. I remember Dad was pretty high end when it came to his boats; he was pretty low end when it came to mowing the lawn.

Nostalgia prods me to install this on a Whaler 190 Guardian hull I am currently rigging out, but this is big, and not flush mount. It also may not be an "outside" compass.
