Peddler Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yes, he was a pilot and took the idea from airplanes of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I vote false. Egbert being a private pilot was the inspiration for the switches (and the red backlit gauges) but he wasn't the one who implemented those design cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
