Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ wartime ad that shows how the Western Electric products are being used by the Navy. The ad has a copy of a painting entitled Air Defense – South Pacific that is done by U.S. Navy Combat Artist Dwight Shepler that shows a battleship defending itself against attacking planes. The ad headline is “Nerve Systems for Battle Wagons” and the text goes into some detail about the systems that were in use for communications within the ship. At the bottom of the ad is a sideview schematic of a typical battleship that illustrates the communication layout. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
