VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Smith's Instruments, showcasing their standard equipment on the B. K. "Eagle" aircraft with a Gipsy engine. The top of the ad features an illustration of the Eagle airplane, registered as G-ACRG, flying above clouds with text stating "We navigate by Radio and 'Husun'". Below the plane are images of various aviation instruments arranged in a semi-circle to mimic an aircraft's instrument panel. These include (from left to right) an airspeed indicator, turn and bank indicator, oil temperature gauge, clock, altimeter, oil pressure gauge, fuel contents gauge and another unidentified instrument. The caption below this arrangement states: "THE SMITH INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING ELECTRICAL FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR AND 'HUSUN' TURN AND BANK INDICATOR". It emphasizes that these instruments are part of what makes up the standard equipment on the "Eagle". At the bottom center is featured THE MARK III A “HUSUN” APERIODIC COMPASS which is also noted as being standard equipment on the "Eagle". Lastly at both lower corners there’s information about Smith's Aircraft Instruments indicating they are aviation instrument specialists located at 185 Great Portland Street London W1. , along with contact details including their telephone number Welbeck 2446 and telegraphic address Aviastra-London. The overall design conveys a sense of reliability and precision associated with Smith's instrumentation products during that era.
