| contd :- -2- The disadvantage they have is that if the car is left standing in the garage for several days , the amount shown on the gauge will be less than is actually in the tank. This corrects itself when the car has run a few miles. As regards the cost. So far we have only bought the instrument board gauges a few at a time. They were specially made for us. Inquiries are being made as regards the cost in the event of our wanting to purchase them in large quantities. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
