VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a scanned page from an old advertisement or catalog for the "ASCOL" brand, which seems to specialize in aircraft supplies. The upper half of the page features two black-and-white photographs depicting industrial settings with workers engaged in manufacturing processes related to aircraft parts. The top photograph shows several men working amidst heavy machinery, possibly involved in metalworking or machining tasks. The environment suggests an early 20th-century factory floor with high ceilings and large windows that provide natural light. Below this photo is bold text stating: "We have that Part you are Urgently Requiring. " This headline implies that ASCOL provides essential components for aircraft maintenance or production, emphasizing their readiness to supply urgently needed parts. In the middle section of the page is another heading titled "THE 'ASCOL' BOOK, " followed by a paragraph explaining that they publish a detailed book listing various aircraft accessories and supplies available through their company. It mentions specific items such as windshields, engines, propellers, wheels, tyres (tires), tubes, fabrics and more—highlighting their extensive inventory exceeding 1 million pounds worth of stock. At the bottom half of the ad is a logo featuring wings flanking an emblem with letters S. R. A. C. , likely signifying some form of certification or association within the aviation industry at that time. Below this logo are details about how interested parties can obtain their comprehensive catalog by writing directly to them at their London address. Lastly, there's additional information including contact addresses for both ASCOL HOUSE on Long Acre in London and another location on Brompton Road. There's also mention of telegraphic addresses ("Ascoloid London") and telephone numbers one could use to reach out to them back when this advertisement was published. Overall, this image captures a historical snapshot showcasing how companies advertised specialized industrial products during what appears to be early-to-mid 20th century Britain—a period marked by significant developments in aviation technology and industry expansion.
