Walt G Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 You need to talk to Francis Clax about this for an answer , he is the motometer historian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I have one that looks like it is based on the same basic design. Mine was made in England and I have not found out any info on it, so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 If you do a Google search for Wilmot Breeden you'll be an expert. HMN had an article on the co. a few years ago. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bamford Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I run one similar on my ‘24T speedster. Very common (possibly standard equipment) on ca.1930 Morris Cars in the UK. Google calor-meter or calor-a-meter (both names were used) for lots more info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I've always liked that Moore thermometer. It's known as "The Semaphore" indicator. Like most all motometers though, they were considered aftermarket add'ons. Some dealers would also install them but I'm not sure if any manufacturers offered them as factory equipment. Does anybody know for sure if they were ever standard equipment? Terry Edited April 27, 2021 by Terry Bond (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
