Mk IVa RPM gauge Nielson WW1

To answer your first question the RE8 is a candidate according to this web site.

Now the bit that interests me about this instrument. The supplier code is shown as S on both of these instruments. I have S as being the supplier code for Smith and Sons.
I will need more evident for, if the code was also used by Smiths.

Anyway powerandpassion you have given me another supplier code to add to my database on then (read, a short list that I would like to lengthen).

Thank you Aircraft Clocks and Bob, much appreciated.

Hi Ed

I believe that RPM gauges etc were issued to the aircraft manufacturers by the Government from stock it held, rather than by the actual gauge manufacturer.

It would probably be almost impossible to know what type your guage was fitted to, unless by some miricle a clear panel photo showing your gauges number turns up.
