FrankWest107 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What type pressure guage was used in the 1933-34 time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The shotgun shell shaped brass gage with nickel plating is what I would associate with that time frame. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Here is the common style used then as described by TerryB.....this one has a patent date of April 10, 1923 and is for balloon tires. The round one has no date, but I believe is from the early 1930s. Edited November 24, 2013 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Balloon tires began in the mid twenties, they took much lower pressure than the old straight sided high pressure tires. Typically 30PSI vs 60PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Balloon tires were still manufactured and used into the early thirties. These instruments go to 50psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
