'Gyropilot Operating Bulletin' Training Manual Spread, Pages 16-17 ('Elmer Carries On')
This printed page from a 'Gyropilot Operating Bulletin,' part of a training publication nicknamed 'Elmer Carries On,' instructed pilots on the operation and limitations of early autopilot systems during flight. Featuring diagrams of cockpit gyro instruments and angular operating limits for climbing, gliding, and banking, this document reflects the technical training materials used by military aviators during the Korean War era as autopilot technology became standard equipment in military aircraft.
