f air, ongns, the case may have the usual connection, l0, and. pipe, 11, and when used electri rally, may have wires, 12, this feature not being an essential part of the invention, for the reason that a clock case could be mountv ed as described, which would have no out" side connection for operating.

Such being the construction, the operation The ease or body is placed in in the board from the frontand the washer, 5, tightened up, the knurled edge attording a good grip. The screws are inserted in the flange 5' and screwed up. Any needet connections are then made, and the gage is ready for use. The bezel can be unscrewed at any time to clean the glass or examine the works or movement without disturbing the gage, which is held fast by the washer 5 and screws 6.

In a round case for gages and the like, a

cupshaped body provided with external tliireads on each end, means for fastening on a board, which means consist of two internutly threadi-zd washers adapted to screw. on the external threads first mentioned, whereby said body is securely held when the two said Washers are advanced toward each other upon said threads, one of said Washers having an inturned annular flange and a glass member seated between said body and flange.
