[Tigers] Correct gauges

[Jay Laifman]

Answered my own question:  After WWI, the British subsidiary (British
Jaeger) of Jaeger of Paris secured the manufacturing rights to the
chronometric mechanism and manufactured these very reliable chronometric
mechanisms at a factory at Willesden. In 1927 British Jaeger was purchased
by Smiths Industries Limited.
