VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "The SMITH Aviation Equipment, " showcasing various aviation instruments produced by S. Smith & Sons (M. A. ) Ltd. The ad highlights the company's contribution to aviation during war years, emphasizing that their products were preferred by the British and Allied Governments over any other firm due to reliability, accuracy, and craftsmanship. At the top of the image is an illustration of a biplane with three large dials superimposed in front of it: an airspeed indicator, a climb and descent rate indicator (vertical speed), and what appears to be an engine RPM gauge. These are likely examples of the type of equipment Smith manufactured. The text invites readers to visit their exhibit at Aero Show Olympia from 9th-20th July 1920 at Stand No. 91 where they would display various aviation instruments such as revolution indicators, airspeed indicators, airplane altimeters, turn indicators, climbing gauges among others. Below this information is the logo for "SMITH'S" with additional details about obtaining catalogs upon request from S. SMITH & SONS (M. A. ) Ltd. , located in London. Overall, this historical document serves not only as an advertisement but also provides insight into early 20th-century advancements in flight instrumentation technology and marketing practices within the burgeoning aerospace industry.
