Excerpt from the Author's Preface: "The authors have attempted in the following chapters to described clearly the various aircraft instruments in general use, of both American and European manufacture, to explain the operating principle of each class and to discuss the errors to which each class of instrument is subject. Little attention is paid to meteorological instruments .... The arrangement of the subject matter adapts the volume for use as a reference handbook. At the same time the illustrative problems and the presentation of the theory of the operation of the various instruments should make the volume suitable for use as a text-book. In particular the treatment of the theory of barometric altitude determination will be found useful in barometric leveling, as well as in aeronautics." Contents are listed as follows: "Altitude and Climb Measurement," "Air and Ground-Speed Measurement," "Direction and Position Instruments," "Power Plant Instruments," "Manometers," "Special Instruments for Airships," "Instruments for Measuring Gas and Air Temperatures," "Navigating Instruments," "Oxygen Supply Instruments," "Special Test Instruments," "Conversion Factors and Useful Constants," and "Specifications for Instruments.".
