VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for K&B (Kelvin, Bottomley & Baird) Aircraft Instruments. The ad features three different aviation instruments: 1. Compasses: Described as "Quick-Dead-Beat, " which implies they are designed to settle quickly to give an accurate reading without much oscillation. The compass in the image appears robust and suitable for use under various conditions. 2. Fuel Tank Gauges: These gauges offer "Distant Reading" capabilities, meaning that they can provide accurate fuel levels from a distance, likely referring to the pilot's ability to read them easily from their position in the cockpit. It's noted that these gauges are approved by the Air Ministry for Civil Aviation. 3. Kollsman Altimeters: A specific brand of altimeter known for reliability and accuracy in measuring altitude above sea level, which is crucial for navigation and safety in flight. The company address at the bottom indicates Kelvin, Bottomley & Baird LIMITED has locations in Cambridge St. , Glasgow; Marlow House, Lloyd's Ave. , London E. C. 3 Overall, this advertisement emphasizes precision engineering and reliability tailored to aviation needs during what appears to be an earlier era of flight technology.
