VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Sperry Automatic Gyro Pilot, showcasing the evolution of aircraft navigation technology. The top half of the image features text and a photograph from 1914, describing one of the very early models of Sperry's Automatic Pilot as shown installed in Lawrence Sperry's Hydroplane. It highlights that four gyro-controlled pneumatic servos were universally mounted and used to operate the controls through pneumatic servo cylinders. The bottom half presents text and a photograph from 1938, displaying an updated version of the Sperry Gyro Pilot installed in the De Havilland ALBATROSS airplane. This part compares advancements made since 1914, noting that installation above is embedded into the instrument panel rather than being openly mounted without protection as before. The advertisement emphasizes progress in aircraft navigation by showing how integral parts like autopilots have become more sophisticated over time. It also mentions that by 1938, this technology was standard equipment fitted on many airlines including Imperial Airways Ltd. , British Airways Ltd. , etc. Below all this information is branding for "THE SPERRY GYROSCOPE COMPANY LTD. " located at Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex with their logo prominently displayed at the bottom right corner along with contact details such as their telephone number: Ealing 2771 (10 lines).
