(under subclass 13) Subject matter wherein the resistance element includes material whose resistance value is dependent on a magnetic field applied directly thereto, or together with means for applying or facilitating the application of a magnetic field to this material of the resistance element; or wherein a resistor is mechanically linked with the magnet of a magnetic compass to be actuated by this magnet.
