Tigers List Archive

I think a little clarification is in order...First off, I have a huge amount
of respect for Norm and what he means to the Tiger community. He's been a
help to me on more than one occasion, and I consider him a friend.

The conversation I had with Norm several years ago was not about ammeters. I
had querried him about not finding any info in the BON on Jaeger instruments.
There was mention of Smiths and Lucas (yes, for the ammeter). I know there is
a Smiths/Jaeger connection, but I couldn't find references to the Jaeger
instrument faces in the BON, and that's what I was asking Norm about.

On to the present day- I should have read Peter's email a little more
carefully. Yes, Lucas supplied the optional 30/30 ammeter from the factory.
The Lucas 35/35 would have been for an alternator equipped car. CAT has been
selling the Jaeger 30/30 since sometime in the '70's. If you have Jaeger
faced instruments and want a matching 30/30 ammeter, then Jaeger would be
fine, just not factory supplied. Hope that clears that up!

Hey, let's not forget, I won the 'Tiger Quiz' at TU XXVIII in Santa Maria
That counts for something, right?

Kirk.

Kirk,

I've owned my 67 Alpine from new and have owned 16 Alpines & Tigers over the
years. "From the factory" all instruments have Jaeger on the faces ( I
believe Jaeger was a division of Smiths) with the exception of the clock (Smith's)
and ammeter (Lucas).

I also have NOS Jaeger gauges in my inventory and guess what, they are in a
Smith's boxes!
Hope this helps,
Curt

Moonstone- That was an inside joke to Norm. Even though he knows 100 times
more about Tigers than I could ever hope to glean, he's never won the Tiger
quiz at a United. Just trying to keep it light hearted -Kirk.

Moonstone replied:

Me too. See the LOL? You asked a question that I knew was humor based...gave
you a humor based response. Sorry if you took it differently, wasn't meant to
be taken seriously. And, any time you can harass Norm it's a good thing LOL.

Best Wishes
Moonstone

Hey- I was just 'splainin'- I got your humor! I don't know if Norm is
smiling, though Kirk.
