At an auction today there was a box with some goodies that I couldn't do without. I bid and got the box (cylinder hone, brake cylinder hone, bushing driver etc.). When I got the box home and started going through it there was a black box in there. On the top of the box is a decal that reads "TIRE GAUGING DEVICE Do not use for any other purpose". When I opened the box, imagine my surprise when I saw the gauge that went from 0-400 PSI. Inside the lid it says "Gauge, Tire, Aircraft, High pressure, 0 to 400 LBS". No. 8844 Made in USA The Dill manufacturing Company Cleveland 3, Ohio. The fact that a district number rather than a zip code indicates the age. Am guessing it was for WWII bombers, B-17, B-25. Anybody out there ever use one, or know what it was used for?

I have the same Dill 8844 gauge you purchased. I use it for the inflation of commercial jet tires. They have made this tool for years and I believe it is still available. The tool may have been used on any type of aircraft as long as the pressure in the tire is around 200 psi. This gauge may still be seviceable if it can be certified as accurate by an FAA certified calibration shop. As most aviation tooling is "ancient" in design, I doubt you are going to make a fortune at the antique road show since this tool was still manufactured a few years ago. Eaton/Dill may still manufacture it. The most important thing is this gauge must not be used on aircraft unless it is certified.

You might try the Eaton Co. (Dill)
They have a web page so you might contact someone in the company.
