Default The Moto Meter Part II showing many more interesting designs




The Calometer above on a Model T Ford and the wild neon-lighted Boyce Moto Meter below are two of 10 different designs that we have featured on Moto Meter feature Part II on The Old Motor.

It's amazing how many types of these were made. Anyone have any pics of a illuminated one?

I would like to see photo of one also. It was interesting to see how Boyce used high voltage current from a spark plug to light the neon lighted invention. Does anyone know if it was ever produced?
