VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a vintage advertisement featuring a tribute from Mr. Alex Henshaw to Smith's Instruments, specifically praising the Husun P. A. Compass. At the top of the ad, it reads "Another Tribute from Mr. Alex Henshaw!" Below this header is an image of a Post Office Telegram addressed to A. J. S. P. B. D Gold London with the date and time stamp indicating 6:30 PM February 16 (the year is not visible). The telegram text states: "EVERY INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY THROUGHOUT THE TRIP TO THE CAPE AND BACK - HENSHAW. " The bottom part of the advertisement has text that seems to refer to accolades given to Mr. Henshaw's record-breaking flight in a Percival "Mew Gull" aircraft (with additional information about the model obscured). This suggests that Alex Henshaw sent this telegram after successfully completing a flight to Cape Town and back, during which he used Smith's instruments including their compass. (Note: The actual historical context for this advertisement may be related to Alex Henshaw's notable aviation achievements. )
