Description

The image shows an antique radiator temperature gauge with a round, glass-faced dial featuring a visible red-and-white temperature indicator strip inside. It was made by the Boyce MotoMeter Company in the 1920s. The gauge allowed the driver to see if his engine was running too hot from his driver's seat. Dash-mounted gauges were yet to come.
