VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Reid-Sigrist's aviation instruments, specifically highlighting two of their products designed for blind-flying. On the top left, there is an illustration of the "Bubble" Type Turn Indicator, which shows an aircraft silhouette with a turn-and-slip indicator ball to signify balanced flight during turns. Below this instrument is text that reads "A correctly banked turn, " indicating its purpose in assisting pilots to execute proper maneuvers. The central part of the image features a larger illustration of another instrument called The Gyroizon, which appears to be an early form of artificial horizon or attitude indicator that helps pilots maintain awareness of the aircraft's orientation relative to Earth's surface when visual cues are absent. The headline "Two of the finest range of blind-flying instruments" suggests these devices are among the best available for navigation without external visibility. The ad emphasizes advancements in simultaneous control and monitoring as well as space and cost efficiency on aircraft dashboards. It also notes that The Gyroizon remains functional even when an aircraft is inverted. At the bottom center, bold text proclaims "THE GYORIZON REID-SIGRIST. " Additional company information provided includes their name (REID & SIGRIST, LTD. ) and address (Shannon Corner, Kingston By-Pass, New Malden, Surrey), suggesting British origin likely from mid-20th century given typography and design style.
