Dan,
This is also interesting about the clock on the Stewart Warner gauged cars.

[i]"The lower gauge was an electric clock, which was normally by Smiths but a number of the cars with Stewart Warner equipment used a totally inappropriate clock from the 1962 Ford Galaxie."

I have a copy of that book. I have copies of the more significant books. In this case the author states an opinion "totally inappropriate clock from the 1962 Ford Galaxie" and not a fact. Such positions are opinions. One of my opinions is that it was inappropriate for AC Cars to paint a new Cobra any shade of green as I don't care for any finish on any car that is green. That is just an opinion though.
