VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the S. E. P. 2 autopilot system, designed by Smiths Aircraft Instruments Limited. The ad features an illustration of a Britannia aircraft in flight at the top, with a pilot's hand reaching out from the cockpit to give a thumbs-up gesture, signifying approval or success. Below the aircraft is an image of the S. E. P. 2 Automatic Pilot unit itself, showcasing its dials and controls. The headline "The S. E. P. 2 takes over the BRITANNIA" suggests that this new autopilot system is now being used on Britannia airplanes, indicating an upgrade or improvement over previous systems. The text within the advertisement emphasizes that this automatic pilot combines all advantages of its famous predecessor (the S. E. P. 1) with refinements to meet demanding needs of modern high-speed aircraft. It mentions that it has already proven successful under test conditions and has been adopted for use on two specific types of aircraft: "Britannia" and "the De Havilland 'Comet' 2. " Key phrases like "finer control, " "smoother flight, " and "automatic approach" highlight some benefits offered by this technology. At the bottom center of the ad is a logo for Smiths S. E. P. 2 Auto-Pilot along with additional text identifying Smiths Aircraft Instruments Limited as responsible for creating these instruments, including their address in Cricklewood Works - London NW2. Lastly, there are references to sole sales concessionaires which include Kelvin Hughes (London) Limited covering Berkshire and Basingstoke areas.
