    Description

    Fantastic traditional set of engineer's scales, as well as a cool bit of early space flight history.
    These scales belonged to Ira Abbott.
    Abbott was a Director of Aeronautical and Space Research at NASA during the middle of the twentieth century. He helped design the X-15 rocket plane, still the fastest plane ever flown, piloted by Neil Armstrong and other of the Mercury Astronauts. He also co-authored
    the reference book Theory of Wing Sections, including a summary of airfoil data, with Albert E. von Doenhoff.
