Tirometer
By Joe Alackness
On a recent trip to West Virginia
my wife and I were in an antique store and a great one it was. Mostly car
stuff, old toys and old stuff. No Dishes. We spent over 5 hours looking and I
hate to tell how much money we left there. I found this glass valve stem. When
we get home I went to my friend Bob Dares house to show him my new valve stem.
After some discussion we decided it was not just a valve stem, but maybe a
pressure gauge. The gauge part is missing. I did a Google search and came up
with patent information from 1922. The inventor Alfred Badowski was from
Charlestown, WV. Does
anyone have or seen one of these?
1922 patent information below.
