Large Aviation Barometer From FAA Control Tower - 99 Cents Starting Bid
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4333343 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
| Brand: Aero Mechanisms |
Absolutely stunning large-face, aluminum-cased aviation barometer with brass and steel internal mechanism.
An ideal present for that special aviator or sailor.
The bid starting price is just a fraction of the U.S. Government original purchase price.
With a diameter of about 8 inches and a depth of about 4 inches, this massive scientific instrument tops the scales at about 7 pounds due to amount of brass, steel, aluminum and glass it contains.
This is a l...arge aviation barometer, or technically, an Altimeter Setting Indicator. These high-quality, expensive instruments are used in airport control towers to advise pilots of the current barometric pressure. Looking at the quality of the barometer, I would presume that the government paid several thousand dollars for these instruments.
The case is made from aluminum with a sophisticated brass internal mechanism. It also has an elevation subdial that is externally adjustable from the back without special tools.
The barometer will be shipped in a large, well-padded box to prevent any damage to the barometer and its internal mechanism. This makes the shipping cost a little higher but it is well worth the extra cost. Good luck bidding on this unique, seldom-offered, quality, scientific instrument.
