    Abstract: An apparatus for attaching to a steering column, column or instrument panel, e.g., an aircraft yoke column, having a two-part clamp to so attach, an arm movably connected to the clamp, and an information display movably connected to the arm. In a presently preferred embodiment, any circular column of 3/4" to 7/8" diameter can be attached to. The movement of both the arm and information display is upwardly or downwardly such that the overall effect is that the display can be moved inwardly or outwardly. The connections of the arm to the clamp and/or of the arm to the information display can be a joint or a hinge. The information display can be a video display, e.g., a moving map computer or a display screen for such a computer, or, a clipboard or ring binder; the video display and clipboard are presently preferred.
