deg F ???

Come on Mark, its damned near the year 2000. Do you want to measure the Jag
in rods, poles and perches too ?
Where am I going to find a NAMAS standardised thermometer to calibrate in
mediaeval units ?

BDG :slight_smile:

Y’rs &c

I’ll also add:

IMHO the ‘correct’ temp gauge reading is the one that stays in the same
place since the car was new, and only reads different if there’s
something wrong. In my particular case there was at one time somethng
wrong, but the gauge read ‘N’, it was ‘set’ too low.

After the origianl overheating problem had been eliminatated I observed
the guage reading over some months. After then I just effectively added
an adjustment so as I can have it where I think it should be. =
“Normal”,

so there! :-’

A Pint is still the best Olde English measurement I know, why not
calibrate it in pints?
