Description
The compass for the P-12 is adjusted during restoration. It was in the upper wing and the pilot had to look up to see it. The light to the right of the compass was missing and caused all kinds of problems for John Lyons until he remembered that it was the same type used in model A Fords. A reproduction of the model A light was perfect.
