[Steam-engine] Gauge adjustment.

[Andy glines]

Thanks for the tips on gauge adjustment.  Mr Stark is
the one who set the needle to be accurate at 100psi. 
I will have to ask him if he can correct the error at
low pressure.  I met Mr Archer at Steam School a
couple of years ago.  I got the feeling that he wanted
to get away from repairing gauges but it might be
worth a call to make sure. This gauge is in great
condition it just needs to be properly adjusted.  Who
knows where I can get the puller needed to remove the
needle?
