If it?s in the instrument panel my guess is that the artificial horizon and the turn-and-bank indicator were air driven, probably by an engine driven suction pump. In case of failure of this pump the instruments could be driven by an alternative source of suction - a venturi tube fitted outside in the airstream.
This wasn?t the question but hopefully of, at least minor, interest!?
