VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Vickers Aviation Limited, showcasing their aircraft accessories. The main focus of the ad is on the Vickers (patent) oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers designed for aircraft undercarriages and tail skids, which are fitted to Vickers "Vildebeest" torpedo bomber with Pegasus engine. The image features a schematic representation of an airplane's landing gear system in green monochrome. It highlights various components such as the shock absorber itself and provides technical details like total data weight, undercarriage vertical load during touchdown, velocity at impact, oil quantity required for one unit, diameter of ram, overall length when closed or open, and weight of fluid. Additionally depicted is a section showing three fins from what appears to be part of an engine cooling system labeled "Vickers Potts Oil Cooler, " described as suitable for all engines from 250 to 1300 horse-power. This cooler seems adaptable to different sizes and configurations based on installation needs. The bottom portion includes promotional text inviting inquiries about other products they offer while emphasizing that detailed designs or units can be supplied according to specific requirements. The company address listed at the time was Weybridge, Surrey. Overall this image captures both the technical sophistication involved in early aviation component design and serves as a historical document reflecting industrial marketing practices during that era.
