Metric Instruments
Hi Roy,
That is very common. It is the standard. I suppose it is similar to most industrial gauges which have the zero at the bottom.

I did not have trouble converting to meters/kilometers but I did have trouble quickly reading the altimeter with the zero at the bottom of the instrument face (especially on the little 57mm instruments). Just curious. Roy http://www.rlkswitches.com/
