Original WWII Fine (i.e., sensitive) Altimeter of the German Luftwaffe, Fl.22316-1, model 17a. This altimeter measured altitude up to 1 kilometer in increments of 10 meters. Above the center axis is a window to display barometric pressure in millibar, with which the altimeter could be corrected by rotating the bottom center knob. This altimeter was used in Luftwaffe bomber Dornier Do-17, the Junkers Ju-52 transport, glider DFS 230, and the Gotha 145. See the location of the altimeter on the Do-17 instrument panel as illustrated in German Aircraft Instrument Panels vol.2.
