WW1 instruments
I have been trying to locate this kind of information has well. I am trying to locate the specifications for the instruments. In the specifications reference is made to the drawings to be used when manufacturing the instrument. The detail of the instrument face is usually included in these drawings.
Now the tricky bit, locating the drawing…..
I have been attempting to understand the RAF/RAE drawing numbering system in order to work out what series of drawing would include the information I want. I am putting all the info in a database and hope to figure it out soon.
I have a clue that the drawings are/were kept in a register. Whether these registers are available from the PRO or else where I have yet to determine.
I can however offer some of the specifications for the instruments you are interested in.

‘Fighting Cockpits 1914-2000’ by LFE Coombs has some useful shots in, and a good book to.
