Hello list,I found a 1938 "Karl Ort" catalog in an antique store two weeks ago and then boughtthis 1935 version on eBay. I had never heard of Karl Ort but this is an AMAZINGreference for the kind of pilot and airplane supplies that were availablein the mid 1930's. OK, so I know the Piet was designed in 1928 and generallyconsidered a 1929 design, but this is as close as I could find to a vintageparts catalog...! The 1938 catalog has lots more jewelry and novelties (clocks, desk radios withan art deco look, etc..) than this 1935 version, which is loaded airplane constructionparts and materials (instruments, plywood, tubing, dope, etc...) mostof which no longer are listed in the 1938 version - interesting evolution.WARNING: The attachment is 6MB - but be it known that the original scan was over80MB before I compressed it. So it is not quite as easy to read in the compressedversion, sorry......Enjoy.........--------Jake Schultz - curator,Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: 1935 Pilot's catalogue...!

Jake,Wow that is cool. I especially like the "Elgin" gauges. I didn't realize they had made any aircraft gauges. I lived in Elgin, IL., home of the famous Elgin National Watch Company, for 17 years. I searched high and low for a vintage Elgin aircraft clock. Found one on Ebay, and it is in my Piet, still proudly ticking away.
