VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an illustration of Lord Kelvin, a prominent physicist and engineer. The caption reads "THE CELLAR THAT LED TO THE STARS" and describes how Kelvin, once a young Professor of Natural Philosophy at Glasgow University, guided his students through experiments that combined the techniques of lecture room and factory. It credits him with marrying scientific precision in measurement to everyday industrial problems before he became known as Lord Kelvin. The ad highlights that he created the first modern industrial research unit and aircraft instruments familiar with the stars. It promotes "KELVIN AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTS, " noting their reliability and advanced design, produced by Kelvin Bottomley & Baird Limited based in Basingstoke.
