Ammeters, Part # CC- E- 48458-M

[Carter]

I know these are not M37 meters but they show a Chrysler number, and an early patent date, Oct. 7 '19. Anyone know what ther are supposed to be used for? My friend Clark has about 50 and gave me 9 of them. I checked to see if they were for the WWII WC but numbers don't match and I don't have any other barts books to look in. Thanks.

Hello,

Can you post a photo showing the bottom of the dial face completely?

It is a panel flush mount unit normally found in a electronics panel, radio or test set.
They show up a lot in aircraft old NOS stock where they were commonly used in test sets.

Intresting, Clark found them at a scrap yard where they were headed for the shreader and gave the owner $5. for all which was 3 five gallon buckets full of them.

There should be an adjustment opening on the back.

[Carter]

No adjustment opening on the one that I opened, haven't unrapped any of the others.

Carter those are pretty cool gauges. THere has to be a story behind them.

[Carter]

A story I'd like to hear other than what I know already which is they came from Mechanicsburg Pa. Naval Ship's Parts Facility in a Property Disposal bid sale years ago. Now I need to figure out what to do with them.

Advertise them on the radio operator's and radio equipment web sites.

Advertise them on the radio operator's and radio equipment web sites.

Also on the vintage car and hot rod sites. I'm sure they'd love the logos and Chrysler markings. OR just hit all venues at once by putting them on E-greed.

What sites do you guys think would be best as Clark and I would like to sell some of these.

I wonder where they were made. The backward "C" in Chrysler seems to indicate that they were not made in the U.S. An error like that should have been caught and corrected immediately if they were.

[cuz]

Only one box has the typo backwards "C". And then only on the rubber hand stamped boxes.
