A long time ago (1957) I was taught to use a device that had 2 10-12 inch long glass tubes mounted on a piece of plexiglass..1 tube had sponge on one end.....What was it and what was it used for ???What instruments in the cockpit were used with this device |

Jim,
Was the instrument perhaps a barometer for checking the altimeter?

My guess would be a relative humidity and temerature test. It sounds like the "Wet Bulb" test for humidity and establishment of dew point! Marv   |

Durn, I thought Marv's wet/dry bulb idea was the correct answer.
Only other thing I can think of would be a hydrometer to check the battery if those batteries had acid in them. I worked dueces but only for 6 months before going to C-130s.
Or maybe a pressure device to check the oxygen system output at the regulator measured in inches or millimeters of mercury.
Give us another hint.

Sounds like you may be talking about a manometer to measure engine PS4 pressure when you were doing an engine trim. This would work in conjunction with the EPR gage in the cockpit. The only other idea I have is it could be a hydrometer to test that green stuff you call a drink.

Ye be correct Old Sarge! Here's the answer I had: Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice. Now you can help me because I don't know what the heck "Erin Go Baugh" means (spelling?) |
