What’s In A Gauge

I’m a sucker for vehicular gauges. I have been for a long time. I’ve collected junkyard gauges- I’ve got ideas for gauges I’d like to make for vehicles I’d like to make (you know how it is). Last weekend’s visit to the MVTF was good fodder for some good gauge photos.

Utilitarian, simple, but often subtly stylish gauges. Some exist only to display the data, some have a bit of graphic flair. All of them display a pretty standard, instantly recognizable array of data, even hailing from opposite sides of the world. All of them, again, are “Mil-spec” and exude a certain quality.
