Boyce MotoMeter

Taken at last summers Art Deco festival here in Napier, New Zealand. I had to look up what a Boyce MotoMeter was - I thought it was some weird make of car. But, according to Wikipedia:

 

"The Boyce MotoMeter was patented in 1912, and was used in automobiles to show the temperature of the radiator. From then through the late 1920s, the Boyce MotoMeter Company in Long Island City, New York, founded in 1912 by the German immigrant Hermann Schlaich, manufactured different models which varied in size and design"

 

There you go!

 

Current listening: Everything is Christmas by Julia Stone. I'm not a fan of Christmas music generally but I love Julias voice.
