VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for S. Smith & Sons, showcasing their aviation instruments and boasting about the "Highest Speed Ever Achieved. " The illustration features a biplane soaring through the clouds with smoke trails behind it, indicating its high speed. Below, onlookers from various walks of life—including farmers and city dwellers—gaze up in awe at the aircraft. The text highlights that the record-breaking speeds were achieved using Smith's aviation instruments. It also lists different types of equipment they offer such as Aero Engines' Tachometers, Recording Instruments, Pressure Gauges, Thermometers, among others. The ad prompts readers to write in for a complete aviation catalog. The bottom part includes the company name "S. Smith & Sons" along with their address at Cricklewood Works, London NW2. A logo or emblem featuring what appears to be an early airplane propeller or wing design is placed next to the company name—a symbol likely associated with their brand identity during that era.
