Der var jeg vist lidt for hurtig, i sammme artikel finder man også:
Citat:
Humboldt had devised a calendar for observations of magnetic 
declination. However, once Gauss's new magnetic observatory (completed 
in 1833 - free of all magnetic metals) had been built, he proceeded to 
alter many of Humboldt's procedures, not pleasing Humboldt greatly. 
However, Gauss's changes obtained more accurate results with less effort.
