When I go to different companies as part of my job, I will look at machines
to see how their gauges are calibrated. Very few, if any, have FFU only.
Most will be dual, with the FFU on the outside edge, and SI inside. More
and more pressure gauges show "kPa" instead of bar or "kg/cm�". Only the
real old gauges will be FFU only or old metric.
Gl�ckliches Neues Jahr!
Happy New Year!

There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!

I was in a local car parts store today, and noticed a fuel pressure
gauge made by a company called Actron of Ohio (http://www.actron.com).
While the dial showed pressure in psi, it also shoed it in kPa.
I also looked at tyre pumps and gauges; none of the testers (even the
digital ones) offered anything but psi, while the pumps only offered
'bar' alongside the more prominent psi.
