Team Daidalos help request - Re.2000!

[Insuber]

Hi,

The Library of the University of Reggio Emilia keeps a digital archive of the OMI-Reggiane. You can find here a list of the available technical docs and pictures in Excel format (under "Sezione Aeronautica", i.e. aeronautical section), and the emails of the gentlemen to contact:

http://www.biblioreggio.unimore.it/o...-Reggiane.html

In the Excel file, you may want to sort for "Strumenti" (Instruments) under the column "Soggetto" (Subject).

Hope that helps,

Regards,
Insuber

In addition, the following forum maintained by Reggiane passionated fans provides a lot of pictures and drawings:

I don't speak Italian, but i'll take a couple of guesses.

Manometer=pressure gauge, so 5 is probably the brake hydraylic pressure gauge.

Also, 4 (anemometro supplementare) is probably a backup airspeed indicator. In Greek anemometro=wind meter.
What kind of wind does one usually measure in an airplane? Well, the relative one to the motion of the aircraft of course-->airpseed.
If you take a good look at it, it looks quite similar to the IAS gauges found in the macchi fighters despite the photo being blurry.

Finally, 2 (manometro compressore) probably translates to compressor pressure gauge. I just don't know what kind of compressor it refers to. Could it be a manifold pressure gauge?

Cheers

Alright. Thanks!
2,3,4 are identified and clear now.

Most suspiscious is still Nr.5 (dual gauge?) and Nr.1 ...

Spanish and Italian languges are very similars...
1) it´s sure a gyrocompas
5) it´s a brake´s pressure gauge (one for left wheel , another for the right one, that´s because it is dual)

Yes, we know. We need picture references to be able to draw them correctly.
