3-2-I-N-11.......BELL UH-1H 'HUEY' IROQUOIS FUEL GAUGE.........The US Army's first operational turboshaft powered helicopter, the Huey UH-1 was produced in great quantity (over 16,000 built!) and of course made a major impact in the Vietnam 'conflict'.....The UH-IH used this fuel gauge (see instrument panel photo), and undoubtably other variants used this same gauge.....measures just under 2" across, it indicates the amount of Jet-A in hundreds of pounds.....Hueys's usually carried 211 gallons (about 1320 pounds)...electric gauge has metal dataplate on rear of case marked 'BELL'......good used condition, I have not tested to see if operational......I have a couple of these available....$29 each

4-1-I-N-11.....BELL HUEY UH-1 HELICOPTER OIL TEMP AND PRESSURE GAUGE........Attractive combination unit measured both the oil pressure and temperature on one gauge (dual needle) for the powerful Lycoming T-53 of the Huey......indicator is just a hair under 2" across, and about 5" long......large electrical canon plug connection at rear of case.......numerous markings....comes with 'yellow tag' (slang for paper document stating this item is in servicable condition, and identification of the item and who has determined it to be servicable).. signed by Corpus Christi Army Depot.....PN#9036-2006 ..........I have no idea if this is in working condition, but it is in very clean used condition, has undoubtably logged many hours in the air...I have a couple available.....$27 each

6-20-I-N-11.......GRAY FACE 'BONANZA' DIRECTIONAL GYRO ....Another item to fall under the 'whatsit??' category, this is a WWII JAHCO (Jack and Heintz Company of Ohio) original WWII suction gyro (marked AN 5735-1), these were inspected/overhauled after WWII and during that time the faces were re-painted grey with white markings...... this was done for a civilan aircraft manufacturer ( most likely Beechcraft for their Bonanza).... although the case paint looks 'flakey' and not too good, the markings in the face of the instrument where they would protrude through the panel look almost like new.. attractive CAGED warning flag is bright red and only shows when set knob is used.... working condition gyro. sounds very smooth when spun up, but set knob 'sticky'......it could use a good cleaning/re-oiling before use.......standard gyro size, face measures 2 and 7/8" across.... original manufacturer sticker on case....$90

7-6-I-N-11...... US GAUGE DE-ICER PRESSURE ......Std 2 and 1/4" mount......this neat little gauge indicated the pressure applied to the black rubber pneumatic boots on the leading edge of the wings and tail of large airplanes such as the B-17......when the gauge showed pressure, the boots were expanded, maening the ice was being cracked off the plane......threaded connection at rear of gauge...shows 0-10 PSI.......excellent working condition, have a couple available.........$25 each
