Re: Interpreting marks on cockpit instruments

(remarks made by gc cooper on lemb)
Fein-und Grobhöhenmesser Fl.22322
Two adjustable pointers are attached to the rim of the altimeter, one behind the glass, one in front. These can be utilised for the following:

- to indicate the prevailing (Altitude) air pressure at the airfield.
- to indicate the elevation of obsticles along the flight route
- to indicate the altitude that is desired to fly on the mission
- to indicate the base and tops of cloud when flying through cloud layers.
