IFR in the 1930's
Let me change that from "any thoughts" to "any helpful" thoughts G.

Staring at my empty instrument panel while considering which instruments
and
their placement, I got wondering how old time Mail pilots flew if caught
in
IFR conditions.
On my project plane, I'm considering just a airspeed/altitude/ ball & tube
slip (no needle) indicator/compass setup in order to avoid the venturi or
vacuum pump setup. Since I consider "electric" too expensive and wondered
whether a dome style compass might be the key??
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dick -Lakeland, Florida
