Simplicity: Boyce MotoMeter

I liked this more pastel yellow and the chrome, black and red. Usually I tend more towards bolder colors This was a temperature gauge on old cars and represents a simple but elegant solution to engine overheating. Looking back at it, perhaps I should have fixed the bug parts on the from that probably happened as the owner drove to the show. This was at a little small town car show I went to.. Possibly a Model T replica but unfortunately did not think to make note.

 

The Boyce MotoMeter was patented in 1912, and was used in automobiles to read the temperature of the radiator.
