The gauge in this picture is the one set into a tractor dashboard, and its needle sits over the word AMPERES, marking the electrical charge running through the tractor's system. Rust has eaten into the metal bezel and dulled the glass, so the dial reads more like a relic than a working instrument. Ammeters like this were standard on farm machinery from the early to mid twentieth century, when a tractor's battery, starter and lights depended on a simple charging circuit that a driver could check at a glance. Gauges of this kind are a useful reminder of how much basic information operators once had to read by eye.
