VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Marconi Equipment, specifically targeting air ports. The ad emphasizes the importance of reliable communication for aviation services and promotes Marconi wireless equipment as essential for maintaining seamless communication between air ports and aircraft, as well as between ground machines and those in the air. It highlights the role of this equipment in sharing information about weather conditions, aircraft traffic, and other matters. The image at the top shows Croydon's Main Building Control Tower with an annotation "Croydon Main Building - Control Tower W. D. F. " suggesting that this is an example of where such equipment might be used. The text also mentions that Marconi aerodrome equipment has been installed at London Air Port, Croydon, and at most important air ports in 15 other countries. Furthermore, it states that Marconi equipment for aircraft is issued by rail transport agencies across both military and naval sectors in more than 30 countries. At the bottom left corner of the ad are details about The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. , Ltd. , including their address at Marconi House on Strand in London along with a telephone number. Overall, this advertisement from a past era showcases how critical advanced communication technology was (and still is) to aviation safety and efficiency.
