What does pivot suspension mean?

Pivot Suspension
Suspension poising or supporting of an object on a sharp pivot. This is used for the needle in the ordinary compass. A cavity or inverted cup, which may be made of agate, is attached to the middle of the needle which has a hole for its reception. The centre of gravity of the needle comes below the bottom of the cup.

Pivot suspension is not perfect, as it has considerable friction. There is no restitution force, as with torsion filaments.
