VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement for Smiths of England, titled "Milestones Series No. 3, " featuring the theme "Recording Motoring History. " The image shows two contrasting scenes: on the left, a vintage car from 40 years prior with passengers dressed in early 20th-century attire; on the right, a modern dashboard of a car from around 1956 showcasing Smiths instruments and accessories. The text highlights that Sir Allan Gordon-Smith sold his first speedometer to King Edward VII forty years ago and emphasizes the continuous development and innovation by S. Smith & Sons over those decades. It mentions that their "Speedometers literally recorded the history" of British motoring progress. Additionally, it notes that Smiths introduced various automotive instruments and accessories to meet growing requirements for accuracy, reliability, and performance in motor vehicles. At the bottom is information about S. SMITH & SONS (ENGLAND) LTD. , including addresses for Motor Accessories Factories at Cricklewood (London), Cheltenham (Gloucestershire), Portsmouth (Hampshire), Industrial Instruments Factory at Bishop's Cleeve (Gloucestershire), Marine Equipment Factory at Watford (Hertfordshire), along with other details like telephone numbers and cable address. The ad serves as both a historical reflection on motoring advancements and promotion for Smiths' products which have been part of this evolution.
