VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Sperry blind flying instruments, emphasizing safety in aviation. The ad features two key products: the Sperry Artificial Horizon and the Directional Gyro. The top of the image has bold text that reads "FLY IN SAFETY WITH SPERRY BLIND FLYING INSTRUMENTS. " Below this headline are images of both instruments. On the left is an illustration of the artificial horizon instrument with a label "Horizon, " which provides pilots with a clear and realistic picture of the aircraft's attitude in pitch and bank relative to the true horizon. To its right is an illustration labeled "Directional Gyro, " which indicates on a compass card the exact direction in which an aircraft is heading, allowing pilots to maintain their desired course without being affected by disturbances that can impact magnetic compass readings. The central part of the ad emphasizes that these instruments are "BRITISH MADE THROUGHOUT, " suggesting quality and reliability. Additional information about how these devices improve flight safety by providing accurate orientation data even when visual cues outside are unavailable (blind flying conditions) is also included. At bottom, there's contact information for further inquiries: "FOR PARTICULARS APPLY TO THE SPERRY GYROSCOPE COMPANY, LTD. , GREAT WEST ROAD, BRENTFORD, MIDDLESEX" along with a telephone number from Ealing. Overall, this advertisement showcases early aviation technology designed to enhance pilot awareness and promote safer flying under challenging conditions where visual navigation isn't possible.
