Thanks for the link, Jim. It's not quite what I was looking for, but
I'll see if I can locate a copy to look through before I plunk down
$70. I'll also check out AC 65-19 and 65-9. I think manufacturer's
manuals would be overkill, judging from a Kollsman manual on altimeters
I ran across a while back.

What my ideal would be is a book on flight instruments similar to
Graham White's "Allied Aircraft Piston Engines of World War II".

It's mostly electrical systems, but has sections on instruments and
autopilots. Also the AC's 65-15 and 65-9 have basic instrument info,
but most A&P related texts don't have a lot of data because A&P's
cannot repair or alter instruments. Most detailed descriptions are
found in the manufacturer's manuals.
