These very cool gauges were found on the end of the steam engine which I showed you yesterday from the High Level Pumping Station. There is something fascinating about a control panel like this don't you think!
I do think so... Just for the functional beauty and how well they are made. My husband, who kind of understands what they are supposed to do, would gaze at them for hours figuring out how thy worked!

Amazing that that old pump is still working!
Those are wonderful gauges. All the needles are pointed to a safe place.
Great details !!!
I love it. It's interesting how big they are compared to say the control panel in an aircraft.
i could see that as someone's house decoration. :)
I absolutely agree!
It certainly seems to pull you into the past.
it is an old machine over 100 years..
What no digital gauges in 1909? ;)
yes! Those simple old things run forever!

Yes, I agree, just amazing!
Yes it is fascinating and beautiful in its own way..
Great shot!
They look very elegant too, like vintage barometers!
They look artistic.
They do look fabulous Pat, old machinery always looks so much more attractive than modern don't you think :)
This is the kind of control panel that makes me want to stand there a while and check each gauge out.
Kinda funny shot.
I agree. Rather reminds me of a plane's cockpit!
Looks like quality.
