Not stupid at all; as far as I've heard they are still around and supplying
gauges. They are one of those old-as-the-hills outfits that probably made
gauges for warplanes in WWII, etc. If you ever find a Spitfire or Hurricane
in a museum, take a look-see. (seriously!)
When in England several years ago, I browsed through more than a few auto
parts stores and found not only what looked like original equipment replace-
ment gauges being sold separately as aftermarket add-ons, but also extra,
really-obscure-function gauges, different styles, and weird ones like a
"Fasten Seat Belts" warning light/buzzer unit put in a standard 2" bezeled
assembly. I believe "Have a Nice Day" was also available, but I don't know
that it was a Smiths unit.
