Default Photos from Winter

I've actually been there in their shop and gone out for dinner with Achim
Winter..It's very much like a small watch shop with everyone working
meticulously with tiny tools and magnifying glasses each hand building 3 or
4 instruments from start to finish at a time. Interestingly, the owner, his
father and his father before him were none of them pilots and got into this
business building aircraft instruments totally from other business but their
instruments have been the standard for the sailplane industry for decades
and remain the best and most recognized in their field. Winter also has a
full catalog on line at http://www.winter-bordgeraete.de/

Hi,

I just updated my Winter instruments web site with a few photos from the
factory. Last year at this time they sent me a few photos of the town the
company is located in. This year they sent me a few photos showing the
instrument assembly area and the stand on which they adjust altimeters. I
enjoy photos like these because they show a bit more about the company and
the people that make the instruments. Most glider pilots fly with Winter
instruments and we have come to trust and rely on them.
