AMERICAN (THOMPSON) STEAM GAUGE INDICATOR in BOX, COMPLETE with BOOK
Since originally listing this rare example of steam engine indicator, the reference to "Thompson" only occurs on the engraved panel in the top of the box and the reference to "exposed spring" is exemplified in the instrument itself. The "Thompson" connection is apparently the incorporation of the Thompson design/patent. This instrument is surely one of the most complete of its type. It predates the popular Crosby. It includes an American Steam Gauge Company boxwood scale and an American Steam Gauge Company steel scale. There are copies of traces made by, presumably, this instrument plus a plethora of additional pieces belonging to it and many additional parts apparently used to route the control cord. The book included with this instrument. Hawkins Indicator Catechism: A Practical Treatise.

Appears to be the bible on this and other instruments of the type. Thompson-type indicators were made by many companies. The best known are the American Steam Gauge Company, Schaeffer & Budenberg, James Robertson & Sons and Dobbie McInnes. Please see my other related instruments.
