VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "The Sperry Gyrosyn Compasses, " highlighting the evolution of aviation technology from the Blue Bird to Hermes aircraft. The ad features an image of two different types of compasses, presumably models produced by Sperry. One appears to be a traditional magnetic compass with a circular face and cardinal directions, while the other seems more complex, possibly an early gyroscopic or electric directional instrument. Below these images is text detailing the accuracy, weight (2 3/4 lbs. ), and dimensions (width: 5 inches) of the devices. It mentions that thousands of these instruments are in use worldwide on various types of aircraft including bombers like Mark II and civil transports such as Types C. II. a and C. III. b by Handley Page B. A. T. , Fairey Swordfish. The bottom section showcases an airplane on what looks like a runway or airstrip with mountains in the background, indicating perhaps that this technology was used in diverse terrains and conditions. At the very bottom is branding for SPERRY with their logo prominently displayed alongside contact information for their Great West Road location in Brentford Middlesex. The tagline "From BLUE BIRD to HERMES" suggests a long-standing tradition and reliability in providing navigational equipment from earlier planes to more modern ones at that time period.
