VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features two vintage aeronautical instruments advertised for use in aircraft. On the top is a "Height Measuring Aneroid Altimeter, " which is indicated to be half actual size in the illustration. It has a circular dial with numbers from 0 to 20, marked at intervals of one, and smaller subdivisions for more precise measurements. The word "HEIGHT" appears twice on the face of the altimeter. Below the altimeter is an instrument labeled as an "S & M" Incidence Gauge used for measuring angles to close limits; its illustration is also noted as being half actual size. This gauge has a central pivot with two extending arms that form an adjustable angle, calibrated with degree markings along its arc. The text emphasizes that these instruments are suitable for every type of aircraft and provides manufacturing details: they are produced by Short & Mason Ltd. , located in Walthamstow, London E17. Contact information includes both telegraph ("ANEROID, PHONE, LONDON. ") and telephone (WALTHAMSTOW 180) details. The overall style suggests this advertisement could be from the early-to-mid-20th century when such mechanical devices were standard equipment in aviation before digital technology became prevalent.
