VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Reid-Sigrist Air Navigation Instruments, claiming to be "The Best in the World. " The ad features illustrations of four different aviation instruments: 1. The New "Gyhorizon" - An artificial horizon instrument designed to help pilots maintain their bearings during flight. 2. Pitch Indicator - A device used by pilots to determine the pitch angle of an aircraft, which is crucial for maintaining level flight and proper ascent/descent rates. 3. Turn & Slip Indicator (Sensitive Type) - This gauge provides information on the rate of turn and slip/skid of an aircraft during maneuvers. 4. Turn Indicator (Inductor Service Type) - Another type of turn indicator that likely uses induction principles for its operation. These instruments are touted as being standardized by the Royal Air Forces, implying they meet high standards and are trusted by military aviators. Additionally, there's a mention that these devices were made under one or more world patents, suggesting innovation and exclusivity in their design. The advertisement also notes that "the forces of these countries use them, " indicating international adoption but without specifying which countries. At the bottom, it states where Reid & Sigrist Ltd is located: Shannon Corner, Kingston-By-Pass, New Malden Surrey; along with contact details including telephone number MADISON 1863 (10 lines), telegrams & cables address: REGLOID NEW MALDEN. Lastly, there's a note stating that certain schools train on these instruments—though specific schools aren't named—which would be relevant information for potential aviators seeking training using this equipment. Overall, this image captures both historical technology in aviation instrumentation and marketing strategies from an era when such advancements were critical components in air navigation safety and efficiency.
