What is an "alidade"?

An alidade is at once a telescope and a compass. Found in the pilot house of every naval vessel, the alidade is used to magnify distant objects and determine their direction and rate of arrival, as well as to navigate in dangerous waters.  The alidade is, of course, a perfect symbol of the firm's mission.
