Hi Scott,Maybe you could briefly explain this for non-angloamericans? I did a quick check of a random engineering dictionary site, and it defined "gauge pressure" as differential pressure measured against ambient atmospheric pressure.As far as I know, all WW2-era "boost" pressure gauges measure absolute pressure, regardless of whether their scale in graduated from zero absolute pressure or from one standard atmosphere.The implication maybe is that the historical British term "boost" wasn't applied consistently with the (modern) standard terminology?Regards,Henning (HoHun)
