EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print showcases an exquisite German Altimeter, a remarkable creation by CP Goerz. With its sleek chrome casing and precise craftsmanship, this instrument stands as a testament to the advancements in aviation technology during the 20th century. Measuring 105mm in diameter and 55mm deep, this altimeter features vibrant red and black scales that allow for accurate altitude measurement. The dial itself is a stunning combination of colors, adding a touch of elegance to its functionality. The chrome plating enhances its visual appeal while also providing durability. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum, this piece serves as an educational tool for visitors interested in flight instruments and scientific institutions. Its presence invites viewers to delve into the history of aviation and explore how altitude was measured with such precision. Constructed from non-magnetic metal alloy, possibly copper alloy, this altimeter exemplifies Goerz's attention to detail. Every machine part has been carefully crafted using natural fabric, glass, plastic paint, steel, silver or other alloys - all contributing to its overall beauty. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece captured by CP Goerz's lens at the Smithsonian Institution's collection; it sparks curiosity about Germany's contribution to aviation technology throughout history. This photograph not only preserves but also celebrates the ingenuity behind such groundbreaking inventions that have shaped our understanding of flight today.
