Hello:
I am a new member to the forum, so forgive my digital fumbling.
Currently restoring an H3 and a G, but that's for another day.
In an antique shop, my wife spotted, and purchased (what a gal) a cast brass dial with Allis Chalmers Milwaukee WI cast into the face.
The dial is numbered 1 -> 10.  About 10" diameter.  
Actually there are two dials connected by a shaft with a worm gear in the center.
The dials are mirror image (one clockwise on counterclockwise).
I have pictures, but unable to attach.  Is that possible in this forum?
Does anyone have an idea what these might be?
Thank you, Guy

It is possible to post pics here,
Go to the reply box, and click on diagonal arrow, that will take you to the full reply editor.  Click on message box, (where you want picture to show up in your message)
Now, Look for the tree icon in upper bar and click on that, When running mouse over it, it should say, 'insert image'.
now that pops up a new screen that says image properties. go down to where it says 'Browse', click on it and go find where you have your picture at, then click 'open',
then click 'upload'... sometimes it says 'please wait'  and then picture should show up in message box.
  But it is best to have your pictures under the 998 width / height pixel size before uploading.
Good luck.

You might be too new to the site, IIRR, there's a rule about new posters putting pics up, I think its to keep spammers out...  get in 25 or 50 posts, and see if the site lets you.  Welcome to the forum!Thumbs Up

Power plants use to have 10 inch gauges. Allis gauges had white or stainless face and brass screw on rings...  Could be pressure, vacuum , flow... they all were the same size, with different internals.

normally there is a NAME on the gauge that tells what it was measuring.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Welcome to the forum. 
Didn’t someone on here awhile ago have something similar and people thought it was the elevator dial from over the doors

Okay, I tried to upload photo, but file is too large.  I'll retake with smaller resolution.
A agree the dial looks like an elevator indicator, but I cannot find any history of Allis Chalmers ever manufacturing an elevator (other then for hay & grain).
Photo's might be up in a week or so..
Thank you, Guy.

I think It would have been in the office buildings and plant.
