Nominal power Comments Image PC194 T10 (if removable) or fixed to holder 1 14 V / 3.78W Used on circuit boards for e.g. dash lights, gauge cluster backlights. Similar in size to W3W if with a T10 base. PC74 T1-3/4 (if removable) or fixed to holder [9] 1 14 V / 1.4W Used on circuit boards for e.g. dash lights, gauge cluster backlights.
Under ECE regulations, H1 lamps are required to emit white or selective yellow light. [1] U.S. regulations require H1 lamps to emit white light. [2] Under both ECE and U.S. specifications, the allowable range of white light is quite large; some H1 lamps have a slight blue or yellow tint to the glass yet still produce light legally acceptable under the requirement for white light.
Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...
As previously with round lamps, the US permitted only two standardized sizes of rectangular sealed-beam lamp: A system of two 200 by 142 mm (7.9 by 5.6 in) high/low beam units corresponding to the existing 7-inch round format, or a system of four 165 by 100 mm (6.5 by 3.9 in) units, two high/low and two high-beam. corresponding to the existing ...
In the Cord, a pair of cranks on either side of the dashboard could be turned by hand to bring out the headlamps when needed. [3] Powered hidden headlamps first appeared on GM's concept car in 1938, the Buick Y-Job , [ 4 ] and appeared on concept cars for several years after, including the 1951 General Motors Le Sabre .

A staff gauge or head gauge is calibrated scale which is used to provide a visual indication of liquid level. When installed perpendicular to an inclined or sloped surface, a staff gauge is usually calibrated so that the indicated level is the true vertical level .
Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.
