Gauges? Gauges? We don't need no steekin' gauges.

I am assuming that the cock-eyed piece along the top is some sort of cover for them?

Actually, Serrena, it looks to me like something that either fell or was put there. I've seen "hats" over gageboards before - but usually they kinda match and have lights in them.

But I'm just guessing :)

I sometimes wonder if my brain has something like this attached to it showing my various levels of fear, anger etc.

Hmm... If these are anything like the gauge stations in piston driven steam plants it would appear that those are pressure gauges for the main steam inlet and outlet ( adjusting the pressure allows for precise and tiny adjustments to the turbines RPM's ) a as well as tachometers to measure the RPM's of the turbine and most likely a thermometer for temperature r

If its a steam related question Hawks your man!!!
