Jaeger boost gauge, 60mm dia. (reproduction by Patrick Henry). |
This was copied from an original of the correct period. (Chassis 7308, Pete Livesey) |

|
Jaeger 52mm supercharger gauge. |
This is not known to have been fitted to any Alvis, but is a match for the other standard instruments on the FWD. |

|
Replica gauge with Alvis triangle (how did that get there?). |
From Chassis 7256. |

|
A larger boost gauge, about 75mm dia. at the bezel. |
These gauges read from -12 to +25, so suit the take-off boost of a Rolls-Royce Merlin (18psi). It is not certain whether this type of gauge was for aeronautical use. (Chassis 7191). |

|
|
Another large diameter boost gauge. |
From Chassis 7275, a four-seat tourer with many special features of early date, restored post-war by Colin Crabbe (Alan Stote). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An aeronautical boost gauge, not (yet) fitted to a FWD. |
This is calibrated for 8psi boost, which would suit the +5psi capability of the FWD blower. However, there is probably too little range on the negative side. |

|
|
|
A suitably calibrated automotive gauge of later period. |
Chassis 7129, when owned by David Webster. |
