[ RadSafe ] Ra-226 Activity in Vintage Compass

[James Darrough]

Do you have access to a Gamma Ray Spectrometer setup? That would provide a
very good activity result.

Subject: [ RadSafe ] Ra-226 Activity in Vintage Compass

I am trying to move a shipment containing a World War I vintage compass: 
U.S.E.D. Creagh - Osborne Marching Compass Mark VII Model E Sperry Gyroscope
Brooklyn, N.Y.

It is radioactive, therefore obviously Ra-226.  I am trying to find the
activity.
