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/ tim Wings & Wheels www.wingsandwheels.com "Paul Remde" wrote in message news:qMheh.263996$FQ1.171910@attbi_s71... 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. |
