011 - A pressure gauge used to check that positive pressure is
maintained within the protected area. It was made by 'Casella
Measurement', a firm that still exists. Neal Hill, the Product
Marketing Manager, tells me that:
"According to the Casella London 1955 Catalogue (no 808), it is an
inclined water gauge (manometer) for measuring pressure (over a
range of 0-1.5 inches H20). It is said to be more
accurate than the more traditional U-tube type manometer which
tend to work over a bigger range. There is a handwritten note
showing the price as £6 17s 6d". |
