B-17 Gauge suction gauge ?

[Harrie]

Good Morning

This is a gauge from a early raider of the Reich F-type wich came down in June 43.
Does anybody know what type of gauge it is.
In Roger Freeman,s book B17-History there is a drawning of pilot instrumentsview ,but it,s very small .
To me it seems a suction gauge ,anybody a idea and what was the function of this gauge ?

Any answering will be much appreciated.

It is not a gauge...it is a dial for a wrist watch.

Interesting. I have never before seen a wrist watch with 10 hours dial.

If it is a suction gauge from a B-17, it probably was not on the main instrument panel. I think there was a separate flight engineer's panel that would have had this type of engine instrument.

Oops - just read the previous post. I agree, it is the face of a stop watch.

Gentlemen,

On this occasion i would like to thank everybody responded on this tread it was very helpful for me and clearly.

Especially the links from Revi16 and udf 00 made it loud and clear!

Cheers harrie
