VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the "Husun" Aperiodic Compass by Smith's Aircraft Instruments. The image features a detailed illustration of the compass, which appears to be mounted on a stand or base with various adjustment knobs and viewing prisms. Above the compass, there is a logo with wings and the text "SMITH'S" prominently displayed. The caption below provides technical information about this navigational instrument, highlighting its quick-acting card that enables observers to take rapid bearings. It mentions specific design elements such as its small size compared to standard every two-degree compasses, an 8-inch diameter dial for easy reading in comparison to the usual 6-inch dials, magnifying prism, reflector illumination provided by a lamp behind the prism bracket for low-light conditions, and provision made on the rear portion of the sight bar for attaching optional extension observation stadia. Additionally, it requests customers to state if they require adjustments fitting Q-type standards when ordering and notes that this particular model weighs approximately 4 lbs without its suspension bracket. At the bottom of the advertisement are details of where these instruments can be purchased: Smith's Aircraft Instruments at their address in London along with their status as aviation instrument specialists.
