VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement for the Reid-Sigrist Turn Indicator, featuring a quote that reads "During the rest of the night we flew completely blind practically the whole time. " The ad includes an excerpt from an official report by Squadron Leader O. R. Gayford, D. F. C. , and Flight-Lieut. G. E. Nicholetts, A. F. C. , who achieved a record long-distance non-stop flight on the R. A. F Fairey-Napier Monoplane. The text highlights that during this notable flight, they relied heavily on blind-flying instruments such as the standard Turn & Pitch Indicators manufactured by Reid & Sigrist Ltd. , which were standardized by the British Royal Air Force. At the center of this black-and-white advertisement is a depiction of one such instrument with labels indicating "TURN" in both directions. Below this image is bold text stating: "THE REID-SIGRIST TURN INDICATOR PROVED INVALUABLE ON THE RECORD R. A. F FLIGHT OF 5, 340 MILES—CRANWELL TO S. W. AFRICA. " The company's details are provided at the bottom: "REID & SIGRIST LTD. —CANBURY PARK RD. ; KINGSTON ON THAMES • Phone: KINGSTON 0972-3". The date March 2, 1933 appears to be when either this particular event or statement was recorded or when it was published in some form.
