So now I have to realize that I have always just thought "Smiths Jaeger."
But as Michael points out, they actually say "British Jaeger."   Were they
separate companies that merged at some point?  Is there a non-British
Jaeger?  Something other than Jagermeister?

Answered my own question:  After WWI, the British subsidiary (British
Jaeger) of Jaeger of Paris secured the manufacturing rights to the
chronometric mechanism and manufactured these very reliable chronometric
mechanisms at a factory at Willesden. In 1927 British Jaeger was purchased
by Smiths Industries Limited.

Here's the gauge that fried. Unfortunately, I broke off the needle taking t=
he thing apart to see if it could be repaired. I think I'll use this as a h=
ost for a Voltmeter conversion, since I'm not excited about all the power r=
unning through a gauge in the dash anyway. When the shunt opened, the car l=
ost all power at 70 mph in the left lane of the freeway. No more engine, no=
 more turn signals, brake lights, anything. Quite exciting. Has anyone conv=
erted one of these, or do you just buy an aftermarket voltmeter and install=
 it. I kind of like the idea of it at least appearing factory.
