Jim,

I poked around on the web site you gave, and found another site with a
book that might be just what I need:

Thanks for your help!

My copy of Derek Piggot's "Gliding" (7th edition) has a chapter (about
17 pages) on the instruments (ASI, altimeter, vario, T&S, compass,
artificial horizon). For each it described briefly how it operates and
rather more on its accuracy and limitations, with most space devotes to
varios and the compass.

This might be less detail than you want, but "Gliding" is probably a
cheaper book and worth checking out because of that.
