VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for an altimeter, manufactured by Smith's Aircraft Instruments. The ad features the image of an altimeter with its dial prominently displayed, showing a range from 0 to 56 thousand feet in increments. Above the instrument, there's a slogan that reads "It speaks for itself!" which suggests confidence in the product's performance and reliability. The altimeter is identified as Type V. 235 and is noted for being fitted to the Bristol 138 Aircraft, piloted by Squadron Leader F. R. D. Swain who set up a new world altitude record of 49, 967 feet. This achievement underscores both the capability of the aircraft and the precision of Smith's altimeter. At the bottom of this black-and-white ad are details about Smith’s company location at Cricklewood Works, London N. W. 2. , indicating where these instruments were produced or could be contacted for more information or purchases during that time period. The overall design conveys a sense of pride in British engineering accomplishments during an era when aviation records were highly celebrated milestones.
