altimeter

This is a Kollsman-type barometric aircraft altimeter. By settting the numbers in the little window at 3 o'clock to 29.92 [the mean seal level pressure in inches of mercury] we can tell what the "physioaltitude" is at camp. This morning it registered 11,280 feet equivalent. [The real altitude here is 10,660 feet.]
