VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for S. Smith & Sons "Aero" Specialities, showcasing a range of aviation instruments and accessories available at their location on 9 Strand, London, and also at Shed 17 Brooklands. The ad features an altitude meter (aneroid barometer) prominently in the center with its intricate dial and measurement scale up to 15000 feet. To the left is a shaft drive mechanism used to operate various instruments or controls within an aircraft. In the bottom left corner, there's an aluminum-bodied "Aero" watch weighing 6 ozs. , which was likely marketed as being lightweight for its time. On the right side of the image are two more devices: one appears to be a revolution indicator designed specifically for aeroplanes made from aluminum casings; below it is an aluminum liquid compass also intended for use in aircraft, noted for its luminous work that would allow visibility in low light conditions. The overall design of this advertisement emphasizes functionality and specialization in early aviation technology during a period when such advancements were critical to flight safety and navigation.
