VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Smith's High Speed Instruments, featuring two aviation gauges: an Air Speed Indicator and a Revolution Indicator. The ad highlights the instruments' capability to indicate higher speeds than any aircraft had attained at the time of its publication, emphasizing their small size, light weight, robustness, and accuracy. These qualities are touted as reasons why they were supplied for use in the Schneider Trophy Race—an air race specifically for seaplanes that was popular during the early 20th century. The company behind these instruments is S. Smith & Sons (M. A. ) Ltd. , located at Cricklewood Works in London, N. W. 2. The top part of the ad showcases the Smith's logo with wings on either side symbolizing flight or speed. Below this emblematic graphic are images of both types of indicators encased within stylized borders which include text describing each instrument ("Air Speed Indicator" and "Revolution Indicator"). At the bottom right corner is another emblem representing affiliations or certifications by various organizations such as F. B. I. , B. S. A. C. , and others not fully visible in this image. Overall, this advertisement conveys a sense of cutting-edge technology from its era aimed at aviators seeking performance instrumentation.
