Abstract :
CURRENT bibliographies on aircraft instruments list a reference to an early article dated 1904–40 years ago. This paper, describing an altimeter, has been followed by thousands more indicating the interest and technical advancements in aircraft instruments. The needs of the aircraft industry have been met by the instrument manufacturers. Developments in instruments have paralleled the rapid developments in aircraft due to the close co-operation of measurement and aeronautical engineers. A typical aircraft instrument panel is shown in Figure 1.
