German Flight Instrument Question

Posted by Ray Crawford on Fri Jul 26, 2002 06:31:11 PM


Hello All,

A question for the Wise Men and Women of WIX.

Because I've been a good boy and have stopped leaving my socks strewn around the house, I've gifted myself a Luftwaffe flight instrument.
One problem though, is I haven't a clue what aircraft type it might belong to!

The description:
Bakelite case
No FL number visible
The dial goes from 0 to 300 kg/cm^2
The dial is graduated in units of 20 and numbered every 50 kg/cm^2
The dial face redlines at 230 kg/cm^2

Would someone please tell me what this pressure gauge goes to so I can convince my wife it was a wise purchase?
As an aside, I don't know how I will since I'm not even convinced. Oh well.... :)
