Abstract
A gauge for determining power of an internal combustion engine is connected to the governor of the engine so as to directly measure the performance of the engine. The governor, which is also in communication with the engine throttle system, regulates the speed of the engine. The gauge includes a housing, a facing mounted within the housing and calibrated in units of horsepower, and an indicator needle pivotally mounted within the housing and being responsive to movement of the governor arm so as to indicate on the calibrated facing the power developed by the engine or the fuel consumed by the engine.
