Extract

If one looks back over the half century, or there abouts, of practical aviation, the enormous changes in aircraft and powerplants have been accompanied by an equal metamorphosis in their accessories. As soon as aeroplanes progressed beyond the stage of short hops from skids, the accessories began to develop: in the cockpit, the air speed indicator, the altimeter and the bubble levels; in the structure, the undercarriage and its shock absorbers.
