VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Vintage advertisement for Kelvin, Bottomley & Baird Ltd. 's compasses, featuring a prominent image of an aircraft compass. The ad highlights the non-periodic nature of the magnetic system, which ensures stability and accuracy by returning to equilibrium after being deflected only slightly. It boasts that their compasses are "Extremely Quick & Dead-Beat in Action" and available in both luminous and non-luminous versions. These instruments were made for both solo flying and passenger planes, indicating versatility for different types of aviation needs. The company's address is listed as 18 Cambridge Street, Glasgow with an additional location at Imperial House on Argyll Street in London. The ad also notes approval by Air Ministry for military use as well as civil aviation, suggesting reliability and endorsement from authoritative bodies within the field of aeronautics during the era this advertisement was published.
