Vintage Rototherm Aircraft Outside Air Temperature Gauge 6A/1055308

Vintage Rototherm Aircraft Outside Air Temperature Gauge 6A/1055308, which we believe to have been made for a RAF Warbird e.g. Bristol Blenheim.

• Approximate Dial Diameter: 5 cm/ 2" (including bezel)
• Total Depth Approximately 14 cm

This Vintage Scientific Instrument/Gadget/Meter is sold as a collectible only. Dating to the 1940s/50s, it is in fair cosmetic condition with surface scuffs/loss of paint and scratches. It is measuring domestic air temperature but I can't attest to its accuracy.

It measured outside air temperature (OAT) in degrees celsius, with the instrument mounted through the windshield/cowling so that the shaft is external to the aircraft and the gauge readable from within the aircraft.

The gauge we have for sale has the RAF stores number 6A/1055308 where 6A=  Aircraft Engine and Flying Instruments, Accessories and Spares

A nice collectible for the Classic Aircraft or gadget enthusiast!
