In the below image, I'm trying to identify the gauge circled in RED.  It is not a standard gauge on a PA-38 Tomahawk, and I'm wondering if any of you can tell what it might be.  I *think* it might be cylinder head temperature but I'm not sure.  Any ideas welcomed...

It's an old EGT gauge, manufactured by Westach.

Cheap but functional (no index reference bug, etc).

Ah yes...thank you for the info.  I am used to seeing digital EGT gauges.  I have seen a steam EGT gauge but not as often.
