Pilot Balloon slide rules... were used by meteorologists in the weather services and military units of the United Kingdom to determine the upper wind velocities from an ascending hydrogen or helium filled Pilot Balloon... The position of the Pilot Balloon is tracked by means of one or two theodolites at one minute intervals. The Pilot Balloon slide rule is used to convert the observed azimuth and elevation readings into wind velocity and direction records. The use of slide rules and plotting boards was abandoned with the wide spread adoption of computers and programs to do the calculations, as well as the decline in the use of optical pilot balloon theodolites.  2, record 6, English, - pilot%2Dballoon%20slide%20rule

a physiological training device designed to demonstrate Vestibular illusions due to angular accelerations predominantly in a single axis, the coriollis illusion, and to demonstrate by simulation some of the adverse effects of SD. Unlike the name infers, the "Barany Chair" is a unique and highly engineered training device innovated and perfected through stringent conformance to the military accepted codes of human engineering standards. As a flight-oriented trainer, this device is, as was its predecessor, most beneficial in demonstrating to the pilot(and also non-primary crew members) the very real effects of vertigo due to angular acceleration.  1, record 7, English, - Barany%20chair

SRA Communications showed this electronic display with optical magnification(EDOM) system in mock-up form at the Military Electronics Defence Expo late last year in Wiesbaden. It is intended to provide a head-down display of a range of different information and sensor pictures in the limited space of a military cockpit, using a high-brightness, 1-inch cathode ray tube with a lens to provide the pilot with a virtual image at a distance of between one and two metres from his eyes.  1, record 10, English, - electronic%20display%20with%20optical%20magnification

SRA Communications présentait à l'exposition MEDE la maquette d'un système d'affichage électronique à grossissement optique (Electronic Display with Optical Magnification, ou EDOM), conçu pour présenter en mode "tête basse", dans l'espace limité du poste de pilotage d'un avion militaire, une gamme d'informations et d'images en provenance des capteurs de bord. Mis au point par SRA pour le Service suédois des Matériels de défense et destiné aux futurs avions suédois comme le JAS, l'EDOM utilise un tube cathodique haute brillance, de 1 pouce, associé à une optique de grossissement pour présenter au pilote une image virtuelle à une distance de 1 à 2 mètres.  1, record 10, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27affichage%20%C3%A9lectronique%20%C3%A0%20grossissement%20optique
