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."

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.

The vibrator takes the place of the engine vibration and keeps the
instruments, namely the altimeter from sticking, eliminating that need
to nervously tap the thing when low and struggling.

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

tapping the altimeter helps keep me calm when im low. to each his own i

I was wondering about Wikipedia's "History of Erotic Depictions"
mentioned in another thread related to soaring - thanks to this thread
I now know!

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

In other words, the device can help you get it up.

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.
