VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Kelvin, Bottomley & Baird Ltd. , showcasing their compasses and fuel tank gauges. At the top of the image, there's a circular logo with "K B & B" initials inside it, indicating the company's brand mark. Below this are two featured products: 1. A ship's compass housed in what appears to be a binnacle stand or gimbal mount to keep it level at sea. The design suggests robust construction suitable for maritime navigation. 2. A fuel tank gauge designed for aircraft use, as indicated by labels such as "FUEL MAIN" and measurements in gallons (GALL). It has an octagonal shape with screws on each corner suggesting how it would be mounted onto a panel. The text emphasizes that these instruments are used by the Air Ministry, Admiralty, and several foreign governments—implying reliability and trustworthiness in demanding environments. At the bottom of the ad is the manufacturer’s information: "Kelvin, Bottomley & Baird Ltd. " along with their address at 18 Cambridge St. , Glasgow C. 2. , which provides potential customers with contact details should they wish to inquire further about these precision instruments. The overall impression given by this advertisement is one of professionalism and competence in providing essential navigational tools for both maritime and aviation industries during an era when such analog devices were critical for operation.
