VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Grimes Retractable Landing Light, which was an aviation accessory designed to improve visibility during aircraft landings. The ad proclaims "AT LAST! THE PERFECT LANDING LIGHT" and emphasizes that it's electrically operated from the dashboard of an airplane. It boasts that this light eliminates landing difficulties because its position can be adjusted easily from inside the cockpit. The price listed is £35 per pair, indicating that these lights were sold in pairs for installation on aircraft. Below the main text are three images showing the retractable light in different states: closed, half open, and fully extended, demonstrating how it operates. At the bottom of the advertisement are details for where they can be purchased in Great Britain: F. J. A. CAMERON at Heston Airport, Hounslow, Middlesex. The overall design of this ad suggests it dates back to an earlier era when such technology would have been considered innovative for improving safety and efficiency in aviation operations.
