A Brief History of Barometric Instrument Development: Some of the problems encountered in the early days of instrument manufacture and a short description of the most recent developments in this field

Abstract

THROUGHOUT a long history in the field of aviation instrumentation, a great variety of problems in development has been encountered by the Aviation Division of Smiths Industries. In the early days, these tended to be of a rudimentary nature and sometimes had a humorous aspect, whereas in later years, more complex and obscure phenomena arose which often required extensive investigation.
