JD-EE,
Do you read French?
You might enjoy "Concorde, Essais et Batailles" by André Turcat.
He was the Flight Test Director at Aérospatiale at the start of the Concorde programme, and also the first one to fly the aircraft.
There's almost an entire chapter about flight instruments, and presentation formats, etc. that's worth reading.
This was the age of the "clocks", although some were tape instruments, and the three-hand altimeter was becoming a thing of the past.
Reading your post, I was suddenly wondering how much of the present-day glass cockpits are still designed by pilots, and how much by geeks accustomed to flipping through browser pages, clicking on icons, and using 'Google'.
