[Shop-talk] Tire Pressure Gauges

[Pat Horne]

It’s been 50 years, but I worked at the University of Texas, Department of Chemical Engineering. They had a gauge calibrator. If you have a university nears you might give them a try.

For most of my life I used pencil type inflation gauges, which, while accurate, were really difficult to read.
