Canadian Climb Rate
indicator (Instruments pg
6 Climb and descend 6)
This is a climb and descend made by
the Canadian Aircraft Instruments Company LTD . On the back
it has 346 scratched on to the case I thought this might be
an aircraft serial number as it was common practice when
removing parts for the air crew to mark parts in this way. I
searched for a Canadian aircraft with this reg and it came
back with a Grumman Goblin, despite being a Bi Plane it was
fairly advanced having retractable undercarriage. It does
appear to use the same style of instrument although I could
only find one actual picture of the cockpit there was
another used for an online game which did show the same
instrument but of coarse that may be not historically accurate.
I may be completely wrong and it may not
be the serial but this is what I found and as the instrument
is not dated its never going to be conclusive and the
instrument is priced based on its value as hardware history
not with standing. The instrument is Canadian it is the same
style as used by the Goblin and the serial 346 is from a
Canadian Aircraft. The aircraft suffered a crash hitting a
tree so was written off and all salvable parts would of
certainly been removed.

The Grumman FF "Fifi" (company designation G-5) was an
American biplane fighter flown by the United States Navy
during the 1930s. It was the first carrier aircraft with
retractable landing gear. It was produced under licence in
Canada and known as the Goblin in Canadian service and
Delfin ("Dolphin") in Spanish service.
The Canadian Car & Foundry Company acquired a manufacturing
licence for the Grumman G-23, and improved FF-1, of which it
completed a total of 52, some of which were assembled from
US-built components. Although initially rejected as a
fighter by the RCAF as outdated and too slow, with the
advent of war, the last 15 of the CC&F production batch were
taken on strength as the Goblin I. The aircraft type served
with the RCAF from 17 September 1940 until 21 April 1942.
"A" Flight of No. 118 RCAF Squadron was equipped with
Goblins at Rockcliffe in Ottawa, and subsequently became No.
118 (Fighter) Squadron, later stationed at Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia where the Goblins for a time constituted the sole
fighter force on the east coast.

Canadian Climb and
descend indicator (Instruments pg 6 Climb and descend
2) This is a
Canadian made climb
and descend indicator the instrument is dated 1944 .his
is a climb and descend made by the Canadian Aircraft
Instruments Company LTD.
Fitted to many types of
Canadian built Wartime aircraft including the MK X
Lancaster.
There
were to be some differences between the British Lancasters
and the Canadian built versions (known as Mk X's). The
engines were to be of the same design, but manufactured by
Packard in the United States and all instruments and radio
equipment were to be of Canadian or American manufacture.
However, it was deemed essential that all major
sub-assemblies of the Canadian Lancasters be interchangeable
with the British versions so that in the event of damage,
spare parts would not have to be sent across the Atlantic.

Here is an extremely rare
Clinometer used to measure the climb and descent of early Bi
plane Hawker aircraft. It is in excellent condition still
contains fluid and works . It is mounted in a bracket
allowing it to be displayed and tilted to demonstrate its
function, this may have been used as a training piece hence
the fact it survived. Its the only example I have ever seen.
