This site will give you hours of joy as you search for things, The OCR is not perfect so some things will not be found because of the mis spelling. You just got to be inventive in your searching.

Hei,

Thanks for your reply! In need this information for my next project: an instrument panel of the Fokker T.8W from the Dutch FAA. In this panel there a 2 temperature indicators made by Smith & Sons. These are nearly impossible to find as they have Dutch text. Now I want to try to find “English” temperature indicators and make new dialplates. But I like to know how the casings look etc. So if you have any image of S & S indicators I’ll be pleased to see them. A example of another rebuild instrument can be seen at this site: http://www.fokker-g1.nl/design-step5.htm

Best regards,

Mathieu.

I can not help you on this one as I do not have any catalogues from this period. I however know where you can see advertisements of Smiths products for the period. If this is of help please reply and I will offer the information.

I however am also interested in this subject as I would like to see what aircraft clock and watch products were on offer during this time.
