What stands vo recorder for?Those are fluid valves/ switches,
Don't know but I doubt it has anything to do with a voice recorder and by the looks of this part it looks like it was around long before a voice recorder was ever made!What stands vo recorder for?
I see nothing currently on that panel that can record anything. There is some engraving that is barely readable, you can see the words "port," "starboard" and "outboard"Voyage recorder for fuel consumption perhaps.
I saw that - "VG" or Vg in aeronautical terms is "best glide." Reading further, it seems this device somehow records acceleration or "bumps" in a given flight parameter and in this case seems to be connected to the pitot/ static system. The unit from that link seems to be made during the 1950s.Counting Accelerometer VG recorder | Science Museum Group Collection

Notice how that
Actually I think it can move in that position. As you probably know, you'll switch to cabin if the the outside source is inoperative.Notice how that never is switched to the "CABIN" position?
Oops...that was a typo.Actually I think it can move in that position. As you probably know, you'll switch to cabin if the the outside source is inoperative.
It can be. At the same time it seems to tie into the pitot/ static system, perhaps like an autopilot.Isn't the V.G abbreviation for the Vertical Gyro?
