Abstract
617,278. Pressure gauges. WARLENIUS, G. A. July 15, 1946, No. 21091. Convention date, Jan. 8. Drawings to Specification. [Class 106 (ii)] A maximum safe air-speed indicator for aircraft &c. comprising a gauge responsive to dynamic (pitot) pressure and indicating this pressure or the corresponding air speed against a scale and a second gauge responsive to static pressure and indicating, on the same scale, the dynamic pressure or air speed corresponding to a certain maximum permissible Mach number, is characterised by the feature that the scale graduations are arranged to be logarithmic in order to provide for simple adjustment of the pointer of the second gauge when it is desired to alter the maximum permissible Mach number. In one embodiment (Fig. 1, not shown), adjustment is made by moving the pointer of the static pressure gauge relative to its spindle. To facilitate this adjustment, the point may be narrowed or twisted to obtain a reading against a smaller scale of Mach number values. In another embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown). the two gauges are rotatable relative to each other, for adjustment purposes, an index on one gauge reading against a maximum Mach number scale on the other.
