perverts in planes

As I was typing up the text for 'Sailors of the Sky',
this sentence
pounced out of the underbrush: 'You'll see many sailplanes
with
electric vibrators mounted on the instrument panel.'

Could have been worse, perhaps 'one pilot holds his
joystick while the other adjusts her flaps'

which is worse, electric vibrators under the panel, or lubing your pins
with grease?
(tongue removed from cheek now.............oh no.........CHEEK?)

To inject a little boring accuracy, altimeters were
built with vibrators and still are. Standby altimeters
fitted to airliners have integral vbrators and checking
that they work is on the CAA flight test schedule.
Truth is stranger than friction.

Ok, I'll be naive enough to ask. Was that intended
to amuse us, or do
you really not know what they were for?

The sentence is from a paragraph that explains altimeter
lag, and how
to work around it.
